Description

La Tâche 1998

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

Excellent level, label slightly soiled with one small scuff, mostly missing French back label

At 11 years old from magnum, a deep colour and an incredibly aromatic nose - this is the mark of the vintage.  All blackberries, raisins and blackcurrants on the palate. So juicy and so fresh. Drenched in aromatics. An amazing sweet vanillin taste at the end. Simply fabulous crème de cassis. And the tannins are so ripe they just dissolve on the palate. It defies the vintage in its beauty. Later, in the almost empty glass, a touch of Armagnac!
