"A reserved yet equally kaleidoscopic nose of red, blue and violet aromas that is wonderfully broad, spicy, fresh, airy and layered leads to intensely floral, mineral infused and focused medium weight plus flavors that possess a strikingly attractive mouth feel and while in the context of the pantheon of great vintages of this storied wine, the '07 will be viewed as one of the lighter examples, the focus and balance here is nigh on perfect as the finish explodes into a hugely long finale, all underpinned by firm tannins and bright acidity. This may seem to be a lighter vintage but it will require at least 15 years of cellar time before this will be sufficiently civilized to drink with real pleasure and probably 25 before it's fully resolved. One other point bears mentioning: it's been a number of vintages since I last saw La Tâche best the Romanée-Conti but 2007 may be one of them." (95 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jan. 2010)

“An intensely floral and ultra-fresh and spicy nose combines notes of various red berries, Asian-style tea and wisps of sandalwood. There is moderately good density to the delicious and intensely mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent delineation on the driving and still somewhat youthfully austere finish. Compared to what is normal for La Tâche, 2007 is a lighter-weight vintage, though I underscore that this is a dense wine in the context relative to the typical 2007. While the ’07 LT could certainly be enjoyed now, especially if given 30 minutes or so of air, to my taste it is still clearly on the way up and would best be held for another 5 to 7 years first. Consistent notes.” (94 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jan. 2019)
