Saturday, February 22, 2014 - Very interesting. Much more floral, stem, celery, herbal notes on the nose than previous bottles...almost to a fault imo. Spice. Great fruit, acid and balance. Complex. ? off bottle.

I had 2002 La Tache two years ago and it performed very well. I still have a bottle left and get a bit anxious to hear it is full of stem and celery.
Off bottle? Fake bottle?

Thank you for this information.
This information is important for me. I hate to open these kind of bottles just to find out they are shut down.
I had the DRC Richebourg 2007 two months ago and it was shut down and completely closed. I didn't recognize the wine at all.

BTW, I just drink 2007 GE last month and it performed very good, very surprise, much better than I expected.

Nose was absolutely thrilling. Very classy wine. Other DRC experiences for me have not been good. I have one 02 RSV left, and at these prices it will be my last.

2003 LT tasting last 4 months along with 2003 La Romanee (Liger-Belair), it performed super stunning. A knock-out nose, firm structure, very delicious with super long sensational finished. 99/100
