2000 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti La Tache Grand Cru Monopole

"Twenty years on the 2000 La Tâche is beginning to lose some of its baby fat, although it is still redolent of lush floral notes and exotic spice on the nose. As the oak begins to recede, ripe, solid cherry fruit with a firmly mineral undercurrent come to the fore and the substance and grip of the wine becomes evident. Although this was pleasant in its youth, do not be deceived into thinking it will not age; this is a wine of great breed and elegance." - 98/100 Decanter
