Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)
La Tâche Pinot Noir
Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
1993 has the grip of a much younger wine - after two hours in the decanter - this beast, cut like a professional athlete starting to show some charm. hard to drink because we did not want to stop smelling the glass - exotic, punctuated and defined.... 23 years young I recommend waiting till 2025... but I will gladly open your bottle with you anytime. Tasted side-by-side with J-F-Mugnier Musigny 1996; 15 out of 16 of us got the wines backwards. Gwen restaurant at the best bottle dinner hosted by WineLA

This took a while (four plus hours of Audoze style airing) to open up. A monument to complexity favoring those with patience

This is both young and fantastically approachable. Great deep clear fruit and great depth but levity on the palate. Extraordinary fruit quality, both dynamic and subtle. Great stuff.

Still young. Incredibly pure. Amazing nose. Almost Gevrey-like nose. Minerality and a saline blue fruit intensity. Really good. Wow

Paradigm La Tache. Focused and pure. Best bottle from the case I bought. 5 more bottles. No rush
