(Romanée-Conti La Tâche) What a wine! It's actually a little deeper in colour than all the preceding wines - until you reach the 1990. The sweet nose has truffles and subtle rose petals, slowly expanding to provide a wonderful panorama of notes. Again beautiful texture and volume in the mouth, there's even still a bite of tannin in the finish. Once again a wine that builds and builds in the mouth - Bravo. On this showing as good as the 1978 even if the 78 has a little more aromatic intensity.
