La Tâche 1997 

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru 

u. 3x3cm, otherwise levels into the neck, consecutive bottle numbers, case banded prior to inspection

In 2009 from magnum, a slightly "blurred" nose that one cannot quite pin down. Cooking blackcurrants. A lot of wild cherries on the palate, with real bite and fresh attack. Not as noble as the best vintages, but a great middle flavour of cherryish fruit. A soft finish and perfect drinking at 12 years old. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
