Tasting Notes
| Robert Parker 93 | |
| "The 1991 La Tache is a compelling wine. It possesses a deep color, as well as a tell-tale, decadent bouquet of smoked meats, jammy black fruits, and Asian spices. Expansive, full-bodied, and oozing with rich, sweet fruit, this example of La Tache, despite its flamboyance, is structured, tannic, and in need of at least 3-4 more years of cellaring. It should last for 20 years." | |
| Wine Spectator 95 | |
| "A gentle wine with seductive violet-scented curranr, blackberry and spice flavors that swirl across the palate in profusion.echoing chocolate on the finish." | |
| Clive Coates 20 | |
| "Fine colour but just a little less than Romanee-Conti. Marvellous intensity. Very very lovely fruit. This is absolutely lovely. Very very special on the finish." | |
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 96 | |
| I have long been an admirer of this wine as it is dazzlingly elegant and very densely fruited with knock out aromas of spice, dried rose petals, clove, anise and black pepper that are followed by somewhat austere, rich, concentrated and gorgeously persistent flavors that exude a fine minerality on the gorgeously long finish. The intensity here is really something to see and it just oozes class and refinement. It's worth pointing out that this is sufficiently close to its peak that it could be approached now with an hour's worth of air. Multiple examples and very consistent notes, in fact I've never had a substandard bottle. 96/2016+ |
