AN AMAZING COLLECTION
Consigned by a wine-loving Long Island family.
Purchased on release and stored since in the same immaculate home cellar.
La Tâche--Vintage 1966
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Levels: one 3cm and three 4cm; one very slightly corroded capsule
Some bricking though the center is still ruby. The wonderfully elegant nose is still quite fresh with some remaining vestiges of primary fruit though it has now largely passed into secondary aromas trimmed in the classic La Tbche spice and plenty of anise, clove and hoisin notes. The rich, full-bodied, beautifully detailed flavors display a slight edginess to them as there are the beginning traces of acidity poking through on the snappy finish. To be sure, there is plenty of richness and velvet to buffer most of the acidity but it may not for very much longer. Still, a real beauty of a wine and one that is perhaps slightly more reserved than many vintages. BH Oct 01, 2003
