La Tâche 2005

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

In consecutive bottle numbers, labels 1 very slightly scuffed, 1 very slightly wrinkled, 2 vintage slips very slightly scuffed, US importer's back labels

Beautiful, noble, sweet violets and raspberry nose. Damp earth and a touch of cinnamon. Great, huge, "woody" flavour. In full, rosy bloom. Very black fruit aftertaste. Cassis and blackberries. Big tannic structure. Then, from magnum in 2009. Deep, but very bright, crimson colour. The sheer breadth and dimension of the bouquet is (almost) indescribable. Raspberries, roses, cassis and redcurrants. Heady. Dramatic, violetty, sweet taste. So intense and with such a concentrated core to it. Amazing blackcurrant finish. Flawless. A liqueur-like texture. Combines being ethereal with being rich. Much later, in the almost empty glass, Cognac/vanilla/eau de vie! Stupendous. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

佳美華貴，漾溢甜紫羅蘭和樹莓的馥郁芳香，亦有濕土和肉桂的絲絲氣息和豐沛迷人的「木」味。像全然盛放的玫瑰。極富黑肉水果風味的餘韻，並有黑加侖子及黑莓的韻味。強勁的丹寧酒體。2009年品嚐的1.5公升裝，帶有深邃但亮麗的嫣紅色澤。寬弘複雜、多姿多采的芳香，筆墨都（幾乎）難以形容。樹莓、玫瑰、黑加侖子及紅漿果的味道，教人心神俱醉；精彩動人，像品嚐紫羅蘭般綺旎香甜。口感多麼的強烈，在口中融匯交織。出色的黑加侖子餘韻令人讚嘆不已。完美無瑕之作。甜酒般的結構，糅合了既輕且重的特質。當酒過三巡，差不多杯中無物之際，仍帶有干邑/ 雲呢拿/ 水果干邑芳香，精彩之作。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
