Parker 98 p/ Tasted at the La Tâche vertical at The Square. The La Tâche 1964 is one of those heaven-sent wines that you instantly know you might never drink again. This bottle clearly attested to what was a vintage studded with great wines from the domaine. First, there is that almost refulgent color, beaming at you from the glass. It seems more youthful than many of the subpar wines from the 1970s. The nose is divine: tart red fruit, briary,...

The Story

Well-cared for vines, strictly controlled yields and as late as possible harvest produces an aromatic and opulent wine. Deeply coloured, La Tâche develops a palate of extraordinary aromas of dark fruits, truffle and spices.

Rich and concentrated, its bouquet releases infinite tones that melt in the mouth to form a lovely ensemble – always exceptional, even in the difficult vintages. Hence in 1950 and 1951, it was the only wine in the domain...

There was a lot of DRC going around the room, a lot of which was thanks to Wheels, so I did my best to catch up quickly.

Tasted at the La Tâche vertical at The Square. The La Tâche 1964 is one of those heaven-sent wines that you instantly know you might never drink again. This bottle clearly attested to what was a vintage studded with great wines from the domaine. First, there is that almost refulgent color, beaming at you from the glass. It seems more youthful than many of the subpar wines from the 1970s. The nose is divine: tart red fruit, briary, rose petal and Earl Grey tea all brilliantly defined. The palate is fresh and energetic–a 50-year old wine that has retained incredible tension and animation, while the finish has a pastille-like purity and real sucrose intensity. This is a quite brilliant wine from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.
