Estimate
The palate is medium-bodied and nigh perfectly balanced. The tannins are filigree, the fruit extremely pure with an intense mineralité on the finish. There is an effortless quality about this La Tâche...
...extraordinary textural finesse and huge towering structure that stand out. The classic La Tâche floral and savory notes are all amped up by the richness and overall intensity of the year.
Perfectly balanced from the outset, showing outstanding clarity and lift, not to mention superb sappy depth, to its multifaceted red fruit, mineral, spice and floral flavors.
The cool, pure and seductively textured medium weight plus flavors brim with both minerality and plenty of dry extract that buffers the extremely firm but not hard shaping tannins on the overtly austere if seriously persistent finish.
Explosive. Very rich start but overall very tense...Bit of spiciness. So clean yet so majestic. Long and super satisfying on the throat. Very persistent indeed.
