Domaine Romanee Conti, La Tache Grand Cru

Vinous: 2006 La Tâche Grand Cru Producer: Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 96 /100 Drinking Window: 2022 - 2050 Neal Martin, June 2018 The 2006 La Tâche Grand Cru is a vintage that I had not tasted since it was in barrel. But what a gorgeous wine it has turned out. The bouquet is so seductive, a heady mixture of red and blue fruit, pressed violets and citrus fruit that soar from the glass with amazing precision. The palate is medium-bodied with precise tannin, velvety smooth in texture with layers of red fruit laced with black cherries, Earl Grey and even a hint of liquorice. Monitoring the wine over several minutes it seems to gain depth and persistence. Beautiful. Tasted at 67 Pall Mall. _________________ 2006 La Tâche Grand Cru Producer: Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 96 /100 Drinking Window: 2016 - 2036 Antonio Galloni, October 2015 The 2006 La Tâche is the most layered and pliant of these four 2006s. I especially admire the wine’s inner sweetness and perfume, both qualities that carry through to the creamy, expressive finish. This is a terrific showing from the 2006.
