La Tâche 2007

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

Excellent levels and appearance, straw wrapped, case banded until inspection; Excellents niveaux et apparence, emballées avec de la paille, caisse cerclée d'origine jusqu'à l'inspection

A lovely, open-textured nose of roses, even rose-hips. 🐼Quite marked acidity at this early stage, followed by sweetness. Cristal purity. A real juiciness and a certain "filigree" character. Almost a touch of lemon at the end - I have never noticed that before. Later, it becomes much fuller and more briary. A total liquorice mouthful. Melting and fresh at the same time. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
