About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of Pinot NoirBurgundy, FranceDomaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche is the second Monopole Grand Cru Pinot Noir produced by this classic Domaine that is sought after by collectors and Pinot lovers the world over. Romanée-Conti purchased the 6 hectares in La Tâche in 1933 and covers quite a number of micro-terroirs. Robert Parker Jr is on record as saying the 1990 La Tâche is the best young burgundy he has had the privileged of trying since the famed 1978s. A foreboding, powerful, almost muscular (with a feminine touch) wine with a myriad of aromas and flavours including black raspberries, blackberries, smoke and dried herb that seems to have an eternal length.

I cannot think of a more profound, young red Burgundy tasted than DRC's 1990 La Tache. Although it still requires another 3-4 years of cellaring, it is incredibly endowed, with an extraordinary perfume of Asian spices as well as jammy black raspberries, cherries, and blackberries infused with smoke, toast, and dried herbs. Full-bodied, but ethereal, with layers of flavor, as well as mind-boggling delicacy and complexity, this youthful La Tache will be at its finest between 2004-2015.
