LA TACHE 1971 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

La Tâche 1971 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand Cruu. 3x3cm, 1x4cm, 1x6.5cm, straw wrapped, consecutive bottle #s, labels slightly soiled, 1 very slightly wrinkled, 1 capsule very slightly corroded on top, Leroy and de Villaine stamped owc, U.S. slip labelsI have followed this all my life, not as often as I would wish, of course, but enough to convince me that it is magnificent! Vinous opulence, spicy, rich and many-layered. In 2013 and from double magnum, I just wallowed in it. Pure indulgence - what is the point of nit-picking when you are faced with a wine of this beauty and stature? In 2015, great, spicy, undergrowth nose and spice bazaar taste.
