1999 Domaine Romanee-Conti Le Tache
11-14% alc., $450. Le Tache is a legendary wine of such great
acclaim that it is hard to do it justice by any descriptive measure (it is said that you discuss a good Bordeaux,
but you simply enjoy a good Burgundy). It is also hard to see beyond the label. La Tache is, of
course, a monopole, like Romanee-Conti.
·
There is bottomless cassis, wild strawberries and Oriental
spice on the nose with dark cherries flashing through the flavors. Rich in the nose and the taste (“stacked
and packed”), yet elegant and refined, it seems perfect in every way. Although a treat to drink now, it is
still a youngster and withholding some hidden charms. Truly, a festive occasion.
