Community Tasting Note

Thursday, October 19, 2023 - 2002 DRC La Tache - this beaut of a wine has hit that perfect moment where the primary opulence is strutting in full display like a peacock but with the maturity to know, maybe don’t be strutting all those feathers in a crowded street in Arcadia and get run over.

The nose is an intoxicating perfume of saddlewood, baking spice, stem and fresh red berries. The palate is incredibly expressive and robust that fully fills the already impressive amount of width that the wine has with gobs of fresh acid driven fruit and has enough age to soften the edges where you don’t feel the youthful exuberance of fruit is too much. At this point the wine feels integrated enough where everything drinks so seamlessly on the palate, you really have to look for any youthful rough edges. Unlike the 2000/2001 where you are picking up a lot more of the secondary characters this one is still fully primary in the best way and can be held for many many more years.
