At last, most people’s favourite commune, Vosne Romanee with 6 Grand Crus. To repeat - we taste blind knowing the identities but not the serving order. Therefore we knew La Tache and Romanee Conti were in the lineup. My notes for this Wine - “Some sappiness - no violets. Deep red fruits. Gorgeous flavours and textures. That’s where your $1000s go. Good intro to this bracket. “ So when revealed Prince Wine Store have done what they did last year and started with the Big Gun first. Probably would have added another point or 2 had I known its identity but still gave it 97. Jancis says Drinking Window is 2035 - 2050!Postscript: Prices of this wine are getting out of hand and out of reach!

What a privelege to be able to taste this in presence of Aubert de Villaine and Bertrand de Villaine. Silky, smooth and gentle with incredible length. A beauty.
