A Mid-1980's Tasting of Twenty One Vintages of La Tâche (1945-1980) (Private residence, San Francisco): Remarkably dark for its age. Perfect ripeness expressed aromatically. Fresh strawberry fruit that is rich and concentrated. Only some early secondary fragrance. Sweet, delicious, still some remaining tannin. Incredible quality of fruit for age 40, simply incredible. Continued improvement and staying power for 2 hours. This is monumental and could last for another 20 years. What a great finish to a fabulous event.
