LA TACHE 1953 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

La Tâche 1953 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand Cruu. 1x4.5cm, 1x5cm, 1x5.5cm, heavily bin-soiled labels, torn labels, 1 partially missing with '53' visible at the time of cataloguing, missing Monopole neck labels, JLP Lebègue-Bichot neck labels, 1 of which torn and partially missingToffee on the bouquet leading to a great meaty, plummy taste. Incredibly luscious and plump. Glorious 'sweet' ripe finish. Deliriously exciting wine. In 2009, this is showing its age as the vines were young then, whereas Grands Echézeaux 1953 had older vines at this time and this produced a great wine. The sweetness and delicacy show the breed of La Tâche though. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 953 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
