LA TACHE 1995 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

La Tâche 1995 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand Cruu. 1x3.5cm, 1 damp affected and spotted label and 1 slightly bin marked labelAlmost Guerlain-like depths on the nose. Huge hidden power. Massive. Tawny beauty. Plums and cinnamon. Lovely tannic framework covered with rich, fat fruit. Royally Burgundian. A hugely impressive wine, oozing fruit and depth. At 14 years old from magnum, an amazing bouquet of heather honey. Rich opulence - you could spread it on toast! Cinnamon sticks and raspberry jam. A lot of attack and freshness on the palate. Less finesse and sheer breed and class than '96, but so thick and rich. A real coffee finish, incredibly 'arabica'. Coats the mouth and ends sweetly.
