Medium ruby. The aroma is like a mix of Romanée-Saint-Vivant and Richebourg. La Tâche, like Richebourg, is slightly more marked by oak than RSV, but with air it reveals superb complexity: notes of raspberries, cherries, blood oranges, smoke, dried rose petals, rosehip, profound, noble, sublime, playful. Surprisingly accessible on the attack, then grips, shows enormous concentration whilst remaining weightless, seems to float above the tongue, highest tannin quality, sensational freshness. The finish is of excellent length, ending on a herbal spiciness. A wine with bite and enormous elegance. 2025-2045+

La Tâche Grand Cru unwinds in the glass with aromas of wild berries, liquorice, rose petal, smoked duck and love, framed by a touch of cedary new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, rich and velvety, with a deep, concentrated but tight-knit core, its firm chassis of fine-grained, structuring tannins cloaked in succulent fruit, underpinned by juicy acids. The finish is long and reverberative. This is a stunning La Tâche in the making, but it is also one of the more reticent wines in the range and will demand some bottle age.

Lightish ruby. Gorgeously scented with the most seductive, intense and lightly spicy dark-red fruit. A little more spice here. And something almost dusty – a dry mineral note that is tangled up with a hint of vanilla and sweet spice. The tannins are compact, firm, dry but paper-fine and many layered. Amazing density and fewer aromatic signs of whole-bunch. Deep and more savoury as it builds in the mouth. It is not so much long as increasingly present after you have no more wine in your mouth, like a presence that remains after someone has left the room.

As is often the case, the highly perfumed nose is the most floral-inflected of the range with its equally cool and restrained array of violet and rose petal scents that combine with an extraordinary group of spice elements on the essence of red currant aromas. The mouthfeel of the imposingly-scaled and powerful flavours is again robust yet refined with just as much minerality as the Richebourg adding even more lift to the almost painfully intense and extravagantly long finish that also just goes and goes. There is a hint of backend warmth but it's not enough to materially detract from the overall sense of harmony though I underscore that the '16 LT is one very firm effort that will require decades to full shed its tannic shell. With that said, this is genuinely brilliant.

Very spicy on the nose with an exuberant, powerful palate and a lean body. This vintage of La Tache grows and expands on the palate with a firm backbone of both acidity and ripe tannins. Long, lingering finish. Lovely purity and verticality in this vintage. Bravo!

Château Domaine Romanée Conti
Domaine Romanée Conti
Domaine Romanée Conti

Acquired by the Prince of Conti in 1760, this 1.85-hectare vineyard produces barely more than 6,000 bottles per year of a mythical and exceptional wine. After the French Revolution, the Domaine was declared national property, and Romanée Conti had many owners, notably the Duvault-Blochet family, who acquired several other plots including La Tâche, Richebourg and Echézeaux. Today, each bottle of Romanée Conti bears the dual signature of Aubert de Villaine and Henry-Frédéric Roch. Romanée Conti was the last vineyard plot in Burgundy to resist phylloxera, but during World War II, the lack of carbon sulphide led to its destruction in 1945. For five years, from 1946 to 1951, no vintage was produced. The winemaking and aging conditions (maximum fruit maturity, very high selectivity, maximum precautions at each step, aging in new oak) allow for the production of an exceptional wine. Thus, aromas of magnificent complexity evoking rose, violet, spices, truffle and leather are found in this sumptuous wine. Everything at Domaine Romanée Conti is implemented to produce only great wines for aging. Biodynamics has taken on a different role over the past decade under the new leadership of Henry Frédéric-Roch, one of the two co-managers of Domaine Romanée Conti with Aubert de Villaine. All the appellations offered are at the pinnacle of elegance and depth. The owner of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, one of the world's most renowned vineyards, was elected Decanter Man of The Year 2010 by the eponymous specialist journal. It's a small revolution in the hierarchy of lucky winners as Aubert de Villaine is the first Burgundy wine producer to receive this award since its creation. Modest, it seems he initially refused his award, before changing his mind and finally accepting it. Co-owner of the family estate of Romanée-Conti with the Leroy family, Aubert de Villaine long hesitated before following in his father's footsteps. After studying law and literature, he flew to New York and began his career importing Burgundy wines. Passionate about wine, he also took up journalism and interviewed, among others, Robert Mondavi in 1966. It was during this period that his father called him to his side. He started as an apprentice at the estate. Since then, he has never ceased to put his dedication, passion and high standards at the service of Romanée-Conti, which continues to produce the world's greatest red wines.
