Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, August 26, 2020 - Dog Year Wines (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): Not the strongest La Tache by any stretch of the imagination, but this was still very pleasurable. I really liked this nose - a touch of honey and dried dates, sweet florals, shades of wood spice, a hint of leafiness in there, but otherwise this was just a lovely, sweet La Tache nose. The palate lagged behind somewhat unfortunately. This was a true 1994, with a rather leaner, less voluptuous feel than one would expect for a La Tache. There was still Grand Cru weight and persistence to it though, with attractive flavours of red cherries and sweet blueberries, then hints of wood spice and wildflowers, all trailing away into a nicely fresh finish. One could sense the structural ribs of the wine sticking out somewhat - with citrusy acidity and a chew of fine but firm tannins - but this was otherwise quite pleasant. About time to drink up though.
