LA TACHE 1999 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

La Tâche 1999 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand CruLot 328: 1 slightly raised cork, excellent appearance, levels, color, and clarity, Lot 329: Wine comes from different importers, 1 damp-stained label, 1 slightly raised cork, 4 straw-wrapped bottles, packed in a 1999 La Tâche case with a missing original lidAt 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!
