1996 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti La Tache
1996 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti La Tache

SOLD AS 6 BOTTLE ORIGINAL WINE CASE. (equivalent to $4100/bottle)
("it's quite possible that the '96 will be the longest lived of any La Tache produced in many years" - AdV). Fantastically pure with the classic spice box, hoisin and soy nose followed by big, rich, very structured flavors that display notes of earth, leather and tea. The tannins are big, ripe and are completely buffered by the sap with length that is simply phenomenal. This remains completely primary in character and seems not to have budged at all since it was bottled. A genuinely great vintage for La Tache that is softer in the mouth than the '96 Grands Ech and this should improve for another decade and last for 50 years. Very classy juice. 96/100 - Burghound
