DRC La Tache Grand Cru 2000 Red

Curated Domaine de la Romanée-Conti with provenance from Burgdy.

The 2000 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche Grand Cru is a magnificent representation of Burgundy's rich heritage. This wine features a deep ruby color and an exquisite bouquet of cassis, violet, and minerals. On the palate, it is rich, sweet, and penetrating, with a lovely mineral character and integrated acidity that contribute to its precision. Renowned wine critic William Kelley describes it as "fantastically perfumed, with notes of root ginger, beautiful floral edges, and a touch of cherry." A beautifully layered nose assembles very fresh notes of red currant, violet, lavender and earth undertones. There is both good punch and delineation to the succulent and utterly delicious medium-bodied flavors that possess a supple mid-palate that contrasts markedly with the dusty, focused and youthfully austere finish that is sufficiently firm to make clear that this is going to require at least moderate patience.
