Fresh and bright and lifted. So pure. Stems and a pretty, haunting cherry. All kinds of complex but detailed and delicious Lovely

Of course the development of this wine compared to his two much younger brothers is on another level. Lovely melange of orange zest, underbrush, gentle red fruit and a hint of black pepper. On the palate this La Tache has a super elegant drive and a long finish.

Not as broad as the 04 tache .... elegant, roses, red berries, smooth as can be. Continued to show red flowers as it opened. The nose is perfect will only improve

Ruby core still , quite wide garnet rim . Still quite young looking . This is quite exotic at first with some Asian spice , rose water , floral hints and after a while red cherries , red currant and blackberry . On the palate this has more of the darker fruits , dark cherry , blackberry with some spicy , wet slate and , lightly herbal , tobacco notes . Fresh acidity and fine but noticable tannins . Quite long and detailed , saline with spiced tea tinged finish . Quite reserved and understated but enough fruit and mid palate to cover the structure . This is drinking well now with time in the glass , and will continue at this level for another 10 years or so . So exotic and enticing on the nose , and with great poise and freshness on the palate, really great showing.

Absolutely stunning with Asian spice and rose. In the zone and will last a long time. Headspinning.
