La Tâche--Vintage 1990
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Bottle numbers 15122, 15123, 15124, 15131, 15132, 15133, 11428, 11534, 16980, 16983, 17403, 21913. Some very slightly bin-soiled and slightly capsule marked, one yellowed and four slightly damaged labels. Levels 2 cms. below base of capsule or better. In Christie's carton
Tasting Note: Several notes, three in the mid-1990s: deep, richly coloured; an earthy yet exotic fragrance, full-bodied, fairly high alcohol and quite a tannic bite. Most recently, at dinner after a DRC tasting, all the bottles were hazy which I put down to pouring without decanting though M de Villaine said that all '90s were hazy (?) By now medium-deep, open rim; bouquet distinctly spicy, herbal, sage; sweet, a substantial mouthful, tannic texture. Great potential. Last tasted March 2006 **(***) 2010 - 2025? M.B.
