La Tâche 1996 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru6 bts - 1 slightly stained label, 2 signs of seepage, 6 bts - Slightly stained labels, 3 signs of seepageFrom 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.
