Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 1989 La Tâche
Grand Cru Red 750 ml
Tasting note: For two decades this very much seemed stuck in a time capsule as it was evolving glacially but just in the last few years full maturity has finally arrived. The hallmark spice of a great La Tâche is present in spades with outstanding aromatic complexity that includes plenty of secondary fruit development but at this point, no sous-bois. There is excellent concentration to the velvety and wonderfully rich flavors that display the same wonderful depth of the nose, all wrapped in a mouth coating, delicious and hugely long finish. This is a wine that I have had any number of times but with inconsistent notes and the score below should be considered 'at best'.
Score: 94
