DRC La Tache Grand Cru 2018 Red

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

The 2018 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche Grand Cru is a stellar example of Burgundy's finest craftsmanship. This wine features a deep ruby color and an intricate bouquet of black truffle, pressed rose petals, and decayed autumn leaves, with dark fruit undertones. On the palate, it offers outstanding volume with big, muscular, and robust flavors that build intensity from the mid-palate to an explosively long and austere finish. Renowned wine critic William Kelley describes it as "a head-turning wine, soaring from the glass with an extravagant bouquet.. and concluding with a long, fragrant finish." Perfect for collectors and connoisseurs, the 2018 La Tâche Grand Cru exemplifies the exceptional quality and depth of the Côte de Nuits terroir. 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.
