2008 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti La Tache Grand Cru
On the nose, slightly animal, vegetal notes, hints of wild game from the forest. In the mouth: density, concentration and length. Exotic spices. An impression of "chiseled precision." Great cellaring potential.
Critical Acclaim
97 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
From barrel, the 2008 La Tache displays intensely ripe, berry-tart concentration of cassis, red currant, and blackberry, wreathed in musky floral perfume, and backed not only by marrowy meat stock richness, but by a deep, oceanic melange of alkaline, saline, mineral and animal elements that brought to mind Romanee St.-Vivant. Seamlessly sweet, subtly silken, and vibrantly bright, this finishes explosively, with tactile impingement of black pepper and brown spices adding to its brashly fresh fruit and mineral intensity. There is a striking transparency on display here, in the sense that floral, spicy, maritime, and stony elements seem to shimmer through the fruit. When I remark on this aspect, de Villaine points out that "the selection in the vineyard and press house was intense and impeccable" which, he suggests, also goes a long way toward accounting for the wine's degree of tannic refinement. Needless to say, I am sure this wine’s active life span will be measured in decades, not years.
