La Tâche--Vintage 1986
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Levels: four 2cm and two 3cm; excellent appearance
"One of the prettiest noses in this group with forward, elegant, fine, ultra spicy aromas framed by the barest hint of sous bois leading to medium weight, relatively fine flavors and a long but fairly tannic finish. This resembles the '87 in the sense that time will eventually resolve the tannic structure but it's hard to see the nose ever improving from here. This is an undeniable success for a difficult vintage. Consistent notes." BH, Oct 1, 2006
