The 1999 La Tâche DRC is a notable expression of Pinot Noir from the esteemed Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. This Grand Cru Monopole is characterised by its intricate aromatic profile, featuring notes of dark cherry, plum, earthy undertones and subtle spices. The palate exhibits a concentrated yet refined structure, showcasing depth and a lingering finish. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti has cultivated a reputation for producing wines of meticulous quality since 1869, with La Tâche representing a singular vineyard site of 6.06 hectares that remains entirely under its stewardship.

The 1999 La Tâche Grand Cru can be a perfect wine. This was very similar to the bottle opened in 2015. The bouquet sends you straight to heaven with so much purity and detail that frankly it is difficult to put into words. Fleeting glimpses of redcurrant, then pomegranate, broom and wilted rose petals, later more earthy scents, autumnal. The palate is perfectly balanced with filigree tannin, a symmetry that is utterly entrancing and precision second to none. Hints of black plum and blood orange, that mineralité returning towards a finish so tensile you risk cutting yourself. I would have given this my second score had the 1999 Romanée-Conti been in the next glass. Tasted at the 1999 DRC dinner. Neal Martin1st April 2018
