The fully mature 1987 La Tache exhibits a medium ruby color with some amber at the edge. The tell-tale DRC nose of smoky, gamy scents intertwined with those of ripe berry fruit and herbs is followed by a wine with noticeably high acidity, good weight, full body, and some tannin to shed. The wine should drink well for another 7-8 years, although the acidity may begin to dominate the fruit.
Drying, with some mineral, plum and cherry notes, and some decent grip on the palate and the finish. A flavorful package, though slightly dry.-
