Estimate
Suave, displaying massive amplitude and a full-bodied, velvety-textured character, this behemoth’s flavor profile brings to mind chocolate-covered black cherries. Immensely powerful and noble, it offers an interminable finish...
Wonderfully complex nose melds raspberry, rose petal, truffley underbrush and exotic spices. Then almost shockingly fresh in the mouth, with penetrating and rather delicate flavors of red berries and flowers.
...Lovely texture and great balance...tannins and fruit seem in perfect harmony. Great integrity and finesse. Is this the triumph of vine age against the extremes of Nature? So confident! Such grace. Lovely finish...
The usual La Tâche aromatic fireworks...make for an utterly brilliant nose...broad-shouldered flavors remain somewhat understated...marries finesse and purity with power...finish is very ripe...should ultimately be a great La Tâche...
