La Tâche--Vintage 1955
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Levels: two 4cm and one 7cm; one lightly torn label, bin soiled labels, lightly corroded capsules
"Heavy bricking with no ruby left. This was quite funky at first but with extended air, it eventually revealed aromas of anise, spice, clove and the barest trace of sous bois and earth notes, leading to rich, still nicely intense flavors that finish with a mouth coating texture of pure velvet. While the richness is admirable, the freshness is now gone and if it is held much longer, the wine will undoubtedly devolve into entirely tertiary aromas and flavors." BH, Oct 1, 2003
