La Tache 1997 Domaine de la Romanee Conti

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (93)

Dark-colored, the aromatically tight 1997 La Tache reveals Asian spices, pepper, cherries and black currants. This is a velvety-textured, expansive, and massively ripe wine boasting flavors reminiscent of licorice and blackberry jam. It has superb depth of fruit (particularly for this sometimes 'simple' vintage), medium-to-full body, and admirable length to its supple finish.

Light red with brick rim. An herbal, vegetal aroma initially, this is a supple, gentle La Tâche, with more underbrush than fruit flavors, fine tannins and moderate acidity. It opens up with air, showing more floral and fruit tones and a richer texture.--La Tâche non-blind vertical.
