La Tâche 2003

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

u. 5cm, slightly bin-soiled label, Mexico import tag adhered to capsule, signs of old seepage, Jeroboam No. 000005,

An August vintage. With a tiny yield of 14.5 hl/ hectare, this has real authority, great weight and depth, marvellously camouflaged by the elegance and freshness. In 2010 from magnum, a really "bloomy", rose-like nose, with enormous freshness, scent and perfume. Just a dream

- 1947, but maybe more healthy! Huge forest fruits, exotic spices and yet pure, classic and noble. Clear candied roses finish. The sweetness is overwhelming, but not mawkish - with youthful vigour and delightful acidity. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
