La Tâche 1990

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

u.2x3cm, signs of seepage, slightly bin-soiled labels, 1 slightly stained monopole label

In 2010 from magnum, it had a deep colour and a wonderfully rich, mysterious, smoky black fruit nose. Cassis, vanilla pod and blackberries bouquet. Utterly voluptuous. A giant wine of extreme splendour and total intensity. Extraordinary depth and layers. Well, it is supreme and so beautiful that the room was speechless. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
