La Tâche 1991 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (1 BT)

La Tâche 1991

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

Excellent level, label soiled and damaged, French back label

In 2013, archetypal, rich earthiness on the nose, pure La Tâche. So irony and with so much backbone. This has the nerve and flavour to go further, with sinew matched to underlying opulence. In 2015, Aubert's absolute favourite. Absolute violets and roses. So sweet and luscious. Totally mouth-coating and with a real nutty finish.
