La Tâche 2007 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (2 BT)

La Tâche 2007 

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

Excellent levels, labels very slightly marked, 1 slightly soiled, bottle numbers 07355 and 06845, UK back labels; Excellents niveaux, étiquettes très légèrement tachées, 1 légèrement sale

A lovely, open-textured nose of roses, even rose-hips. Quite marked acidity at this early stage, followed by sweetness. Cristal purity. A real juiciness and a certain "filigree" character. Almost a touch of lemon at the end - I have never noticed that before. Later, it becomes much fuller and more briary. A total liquorice mouthful. Melting and fresh at the same time. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

The private collection of a renowned entrepreneur, these wines were removed from the deep-underground, naturally cool cellar of a beautiful French country house, the quality of the storage being reflected in the excellent levels and appearance found across the board. A highly attractive collection of Domaine de la Romanée Conti is followed by a range of Bouchard Père et Fils and other great Burgundy producers, after which comes top Bordeaux Châteaux.
