April 11, 2024 - I had this c1976. With parents, brother and his girl friend, who had given up drinking. Once uncorked, it filled the room with a heavenly perfume and the girl friend changed her mind. Marvelous stuff. Despite youth, no tannic intrusion. $25 (but that is well over a C-note in today's currency). One of my all time favorites. 5 stars.

September 17, 2022 - Impressive showing at this age with clean, floral, forest floor aromatics. Palate could've used a little more sweetness but pure. (00564/24209)

August 7, 2021 - From magnum. A much improved showing over other recents. Clearly La Tache, albeit with a lighter overall character than is typical.

11/1/2005 (link)(Romanée-Conti La Tâche) Medium colour. The nose starts rather closed vs the other wines, taking rather a while to develop - ends up like a less intense, perhaps 'junior' 1978 - no bad thing! The palate is less explosive than most of the others, but the intensity still grows and grows in your mouth. Perfect texture and lovely acidity. It has everything that the other wines have, but on a slightly lower register - perhaps it's starting to fade - it is, however, a beautiful thing.
