Domaine de La Romanée-Conti La Tâche Grand Cru 2021

Tasting Notes

A recent tasting of the 2021 La Tâche confirms it as among the top wines of the vintage. The colour is a deep, saturated ruby, and hints of violets, spice, and smoke deftly accent the ripe aromas of plum and mulberry fruit. The fruit balances the influence of the cask ageing, giving the wine a seamless integration. The texture is denser than most from this vintage, and the tannins are firm but not astringent - just lush, balanced elegance that places this wine above its peers. Picked 24 - 27 September. Drinking window: 2035-2085. (Charles Curtis, MW,decanter.com,March 13, 2024)
