La Tâche 1996 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (5 BT)

La Tâche 1996  

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti  

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru 

Levels into the neck, 1 slightly bin-soiled label, consecutive bottle numbers 

From magnum in 2010, a marvellous, vivacious, vibrant bouquet that bounces out at you. Almost heady blackcurrant leaves. Extraordinary, piercing intensity - cuts like a knife. Great, sweet, strawberry fruit on the palate. A massive fruit-bowl of a wine. Blackcurrant wine gums. Sheer heaven. Just lingers forever with its red and black fruit flavours and silky texture. Cassis and coffee - and pure bliss. Breed in liquid form. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
