Beautiful and open immediately. Archetypical DRC stems, hoisin, hints of roses. Long and deep. Remained a top level wine for the three hour dinner with surprisingly little change. Wasn’t my initial vintage choice but glad we opened it.

Best showing in a line up of four La Tâche 2010,1986, and 1982. Deep ruby red color, slow oxed over three hours. Nose of black cherries, lots of stems, spice, leather. Lots of brawn in this LT. Very youthful but so we'll crafted, complex, powerful perfumed black and dark red fruits, tannins present but such velvet and soft power. Finishes long and hedonistic. Was more open than the tight 2010.

La Tache 2012 (3470 flasken)
Let gennemsigtig.
Lidt cognac look ved alderen.
Første indtryk:
Duft som intet andet før. Intensiv. Kompleks. Hypen, vanilje, jordbær Vosne. Tyk ift Dujac
Mentol
Smag bliver bare hængende.
Samme som duft. Kanon balance.
Syre som “stjernedrys” intet der generer
tungen.
Vild balance. Ikke meget tannin. Det der er, er helt blødt.
Kan duftes 30-40 cm væk😍
Ingen alkohol på. Heller ikke ved temp. stigning🙏🏻
