La Tache 2013 Domaine de la Romanee Conti

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (98)

Aubert de Villaine remarked that there is "one more dimension" to the 2013 La Tâche Grand Cru and that he would be in no hurry to bottle it. The barrel sample makes an immediate impression on the nose. It is immeasurably complex with cranberry and pomegranate scents at first, autumn woodland accompanied by candied orange peel and limestone scents. The palate is very complex and beautifully balanced. Perfect acidity, surfeit with tension, this La Tâche gradually crescendos to a pixelated finish that has enormous persistence in the mouth. Stunning.
