La Tâche 1999

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

Levels into the neck, scuffed and bin-soiled labels, wines come from different importers

At 10 years old from magnum, this has a very deep colour and a great, rich, liqueur and liquorice nose. More closed than the RSV at the moment. Vibrates with grandeur. Deep raspberry essence. Extraordinary complexity and depth, all hovering and ready to burst out over the next decades. This has all the flesh of a sublime wine, so sweet, so totally original, so itself. The succulence hides the power. Oh, if only I had some!
