La Tâche 1996 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand CruLevels into the neck, slightly scuffed labels, 1 stained label, 1 nicked label, 1 scuffed vintage neck label, 1 slightly raised cork, 1 slight sign of seepage, 1 scuffed capsuleFrom 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.
