La Tâche 2007

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

1 wine-stained back-label, 1 slightly damp-stained vintage neck tag

A lovely, open-textured nose of roses, even rose-hips. Quite marked acidity at this early stage, followed by sweetness. Cristal purity. A real juiciness and a certain "filigree" character. Almost a touch of lemon at the end - I have never noticed that before. Later, it becomes much fuller and more briary. A total liquorice mouthful. Melting and fresh at the same time.
