By Bill Nanson
(Romanée-Conti La Tâche) Medium colour, again an old mahogany shade. Width on the nose, hints of resin, sweetness, doesn't start spicy, rather broad and deep, becoming ever more intense and rounder. Wonderful effects on the inside of your mouth - fireworks certainly - quite rich, with a finish that defies reason. It's about as mature as any wine could be in gamey yet sweet way. For me this wine is second only to 1990, though the 1959 was probably its equal.

dinner at Jims (guilford ct): this was the wine of the night and as good as wine gets. when they get this ethereal its hard to judge one against another in memory. it was a night of great wines and this La Tach made the 93 look rough and alone i have found it to be wonderful. i cant wait to get to the rest of the 78s and see how they compare. this was incredibly balanced, smooth, great fruit and t its absolute apogee

The nose draws you in. Hoisin, sandalwood, freshly grated ginger and rose petals. It is rich and perfectly balanced. The palate is so silky, building with spice laden flavours and fanning out then lingering for a seriously long time. Close to perfection for mine.

low fill. brown rim, bit paler than the 85. ethereal sublime nose with exquisite floral notes and delicate spiciness. delightful, silky texture. very elegant, subtle, very long and deep; delicious, finely delineated savours, vigourous but less complex, penetrating, and expansive than RC drunk alongside. beautiful faded roses character in nose gradually declines in glass. very long, slow fade on palate with earthy-mineral character, a touch harsh. gamy later with fraise de bois notes.

Complex and ethereal with aromas of rose petal, beef stock, mirepoix, Hoisin, black earth and something sweet and vinous. It is super silky against the gums and there is power without weight. The whole mouth is filled with fruit and savoury things and it builds through the palate, fanning out on the finish. Perfect in every way and in a perfect place.
