Product Description
RP98 "More reserved than the Richebourg and Romanee-St-Vivant, the 2016 La Tache Grand Cru unwinds in the glass with aromas of wild berries, licorice, rose petal, smoked duck and love, framed by a touch of cedary new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, rich and velvety, with a deep, concentrated but tight-knit core, its firm chassis of fine-grained, structuring tannins cloaked in succulent fruit, underpinned by juicy acids. The finish is long and reverberative. This is a stunning La Tache in the making, but it is also one of the more reticent wines in the range and will demand some bottle age." WK for TWA Jan 2019
BH97 "An exuberantly spicy and floral suffused nose is brilliant in its sheer breadth of exotic elements. The mouthfeel of the rich, concentrated and powerful large-bodied flavors is surprisingly supple while retaining the hallmark minerality that seems to build on the extravagantly long finish that also just goes and goes. There is a hint of backend warmth but it's not enough to materially detract from the overall sense of harmony. I would add that while the tannins are dense, they are pliant and while I'm not recommending it, this could actually be enjoyed now. With that said, this is built to last for decades and 2016 is a stunning good vintage for this wine. (Drink starting 2031)" AM for BH Apr 2024
