La Tâche--Vintage 1987
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Levels: 1cm or better
"This clearly retains its essential La Tâche character as there is lovely spice and surprisingly good volume for the vintage but the austere tannic structure is beginning to dominate and it's hard to see this ever harmonizing completely. While cellaring the wine further will likely soften the structure, I fear that the fruit will have faded before this occurs. As such, I would be inclined to drink this sooner than later though there is no rush." BH, Oct 1, 2003
