DRC Only | Three Decades of La Tâche

“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, M.W. Honorary Chairman, Sotheby’s Wine

Marvellous 1996

“At 10 years old from magnum, this has a very deep colour and a great, rich, liqueur and liquorice nose. More closed than the RSV at the moment. Vibrates with grandeur. Deep raspberry essence. Extraordinary complexity and depth, all hovering and ready to burst out over the next decades. This has all the flesh of a sublime wine, so sweet, so totally original, so itself. The succulence hides the power. Oh, if only I had some!” —Serena Sutcliffe, M.W. Honorary Chairman, Sotheby’s Wine

Extraordinary 1999

“A real "undergrowth" nose, already quite evolved i.e. one could drink it. Quite a tawny taste, with toffee notes. Immediate charm and accessibility. Raspberry liqueur taste. And lovely freshness at the end.” —Serena Sutcliffe, M.W. Honorary Chairman, Sotheby’s Wine

Charming 2002

“A positively wicked perfume, more four-square than the Richebourg at this early stage—huge impact. Is this like the 1999—the thought crossed one's mind. So luscious and so balanced, just perfectly composed. Flawless wine, coating the mouth with lovely richness and yet absolutely classic. Ends on a cassis note. Covert power and very long.” —Serena Sutcliffe, M.W. Honorary Chairman, Sotheby’s Wine

Flawless 2009

Additional highlights include La Tâche 2000, 1997, 2007, and 2011, complemented by 2002 Échézeaux.
