La Tâche 1971, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru (2 BT75)

La Tâche 1971

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

u. 2x4cm, "Interdiction d'Exporter aux USA" labels very slightly rubbed, JLP Lebegue and Monopole neck labels, capsules very slightly wrinkled, 1 with very slight signs of old seepage on top, good colour and clarity, bottle numbers 09894, 10200

I have followed this all my life, not as often as I would wish, of course, but enough to convince me that it is magnificent! Vinous opulence, spicy, rich and many-layered. In 2013 and from double magnum, I just wallowed in it. Pure indulgence - what is the point of nit-picking when you are faced with a wine of this beauty and stature? In 2015, great, spicy, undergrowth nose and spice bazaar taste. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
