La Tâche Grand Cru--Vintage 1983
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Bottle no' 000223. In original wooden case. Chipped embossed wax capsule. Leroy slip label. Excellent level
Tasting note: The 1983 reveals a dark ruby/garnet colour with noticeable lightening at the edge. The intoxicatingly perfumed bouquet offers up intense aromas of earth, mushrooms, sweet, overripe black-raspberry fruit, prunes, smoke, and Asian spices. The complex aromatics are followed by a powerful, tannic, highly concentrated wine with immense body, some astringency, and a huge, alcoholic, rich, glycerin-dominated finish. While it is not the purest example of La Tâche, it is one of the few great expressions of this vintage. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 100 (August 1995)
