Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 15, 2016 - Weekend with Eddie - Part 1 (Marea, New York City): I must profess that I love the 05 La Tache and have a strong favorable bias. The nose has never shutdown hard since release, i.e. always very youthful, pure and hedonistic. Expressive nose displaying intense pure sweet red fruits, raspberry, raspberry jelly, strawberry, a hint of Vosne spice and tie guan yin, decadent caramel and stem. Incredibly concentrated yet perfectly precise and harmonious palate, infinitely layered fruit, bright acidity that sets the excellent precision and gives vibrancy, nicely integrated tannins and unbelievably long finish. I prefer the red fruit and purity of the 05 over the black fruit and incredible concentration of the 99. I find the nose incredibly energetic and the palate so sensual. This wine always lifts my spirit. Another perfect showing.
