Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate April - 2015
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Tasted at the La Tâche vertical at The Square. The La Tâche 1966 is one of those wines were composing a tasting note seems futile. How can you express such a wine in words? Well, I will try. It must be considered one of the greatest La Tâche of all time. Typically of this vineyard it is a mercurial Pinot Noir that is deceptively simple upon first acquaintance. Then you notice its unbelievable delineation as scents of dark fruit, sous bois, cigar box and an exotic hint of star anise gently unfold. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins and nigh perfect acidity. There is such brightness and vigour in the 1966, allied with a sense of authority. Over time it gains precocity and there is a daring note of cough candy surfacing unexpectedly on the finish after ten minutes. This is an astonishing La Tâche that flirts with perfection.

Light brick with orange edge. This also exhibits a slight vegetal note initially, along with plenty of forest underbrush, growing more penetrating with a core of sweet cherry in its bouquet. A caressing red, full of silky, sweet cherry and berry flavours and smoke. A picture of finesse, superb balance and a long finish. This loses nothing after an hour in the glass.

Glorious in 1992 and three notes since: superb, assertive, "vast and tannic", and early the following year, a slightly woody, tannic bottle. In 1997 a fully mature-looking, hefty, spicy, sweet and powerful bottle with quite a bite and remarkable acidity.

Very rich and mushroomy. Very racy; rich yet lively. Lifted, long, racy. Defintely one of the more obviously autumnal of these wines in tmers of its flavour, and maturity. Quite savoury. Wonderful wine but with quite a different character to the 1978 Romanée-Conti, Grand Cru – essence of Tâche with all that autumnal fungus.

Domaine Romanée Conti

The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is one of the most iconic wine estates in Burgundy and an absolute benchmark among the great wines of the world. Its history is intimately bound to the greatest climats of Vosne-Romanée, of which it is the exclusive or near-exclusive custodian. The estate cultivates a number of exceptional grand crus, among them Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, Richebourg, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Grands Échézeaux, Échézeaux, as well as the celebrated Montrachet for its white wines.

La Romanée-Conti, a Grand Cru classified climat, forms the historical and symbolic heart of the estate. In the estate's ownership since the 18th century, this monopole vineyard embodies a demanding vision of wine, founded on precision, faithfulness to the terroir, and an exceptionally rigorous approach to viticulture. The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is renowned for its constant pursuit of balance and purity of expression, favouring very low yields and meticulous work in the vineyard.

Iconic vintages such as Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 1942, the 1945 wine, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 1986, the 1990 vintage, the year 2000, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 2005, Romanée-Conti 2011, illustrate the estate's capacity to produce wines of remarkable depth, capable of spanning decades while retaining an exceptional clarity of origin. The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti thus remains an essential reference for understanding the excellence and singularity of the great wines of Burgundy.
