So impressive for what was considered to be a poor vintage. The winemaker has produced miracles. No visual signs of aging. Nose consists of ripe blackberries and raspberries. Palette is dominated with spice box and sweet red fruits. Acidity is pulsating and preserving the structure very well. Finishes with a long tail, and a deft amount of sweetness.

Bucket list - TICK.

My first DRC. It brought me back to a few years ago, when I was standing in front of the DRC vineyards watching the horse work the land and thinking: 'probably I will never drink a wine like this in my entire life'. Four years later there is a glass of spicy and perfumed La Tâche in front of me. A milestone to me! Amazing to say the least. But of course there was not enough time to fully comprehend what was going on. Hope to pass by this station once again...

Tough bottle. Not strutting it's stuff. I would say storage issue.

This seemed a little disjointed when first served but soon came together to show dark berry & cherry fruits with baking spices, earth, mineral & underbrush. Not as powerful & elegant as other vintages I have had recently but still a nice drinking LT.

@Martin G Rivard This is a BABY. Needs time. The fruit fresh and bright, great earthy notes as well. The alcohol is showing a bit however which is it's one detractor. Thank you so much @Ron R for sharing and hosting.
