Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)
La Tâche Pinot Noir
Tasted blind. Dark tawny color. Sweet, candied fruit nose with notes of dark raspberries, some spice, some mocha, some gravel stone and a little soy sauce. In the mouth, there is a dryness to it when compared to the great nose and smells this gives off. Very masculine. Punches you in the face. Guessed 89 Rousseau Clos de Beze. Great juice!

Feb 13th, 2022Don't really have too much to say about this wonder, I've always loved '88, this was quite magical, high toned beautiful funkiness, classic decomposing undergrowth & steminess, didn't stand up forever, but when blossoming you couldn't ask for more.

May 21st, 2015Could not have been happier with how this was showing. Big and powerful but starting to show a sensitive side as well.
