DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI WINES FROM THE STELLAR 2005 VINTAGE
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
La Tâche Grand Cru--Vintage 2005
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Russian import slip back labels. Excellent appearance. Bottle numbers: 04891, 04896, 04897, 04900, 04992, 04966
Tasting Note: The 2005 La Tâche epitomizes the unique mysteries of Pinot (not to mention the character of a great site), with its aromas of game, musk, iris, star anise, vanilla, allspice, and naturally also an abundance of sweet, ripe, implosively tiny-berried fruit. Imagine a black Riesling. On the palate, a vivid freshness of fruit, pungency of spice and flowers, and melting away of what in point of analytical fact are abundant tannins, all engender an almost white wine dynamic of fruit-mineral call-and-response and clear, incisive penetration of flavours to every recess of the mouth........Wine Advocate 170, April 2007.
