La Tâche 1998 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (2 MAG)

La Tâche 1998  

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti  

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru 

Levels into the neck, bin-soiled and slightly scuffed labels, 1 nicked capsule

At 11 years old from magnum, a deep colour and an incredibly aromatic nose - this is the mark of the vintage.  All blackberries, raisins and blackcurrants on the palate. So juicy and so fresh. Drenched in aromatics. An amazing sweet vanillin taste at the end. Simply fabulous crème de cassis. And the tannins are so ripe they just dissolve on the palate. It defies the vintage in its beauty. Later, in the almost empty glass, a touch of Armagnac!
