Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 11, 2021 - 6 Decades of La Tache: Tasted side by side with the RSV and La Tâche, the Richebourg comes across as closed on the nose without identifiable flaw. I appreciate the palate depth here which is impressive in its own right, but like the RSV there’s too much stem for my taste. It’s one thing when a touch of green herbaceousness accents the wine, but this overwhelms. There was talk about this bottle being off owing to the muted nose and perhaps it was, but it conformed with the green 2011 notes of the obviously correct wines so for anyone (like me) who can’t stand green, I would approach this with great caution. I would love to be surprised in 10 years. Time will tell.
