Grey Chip Selections: Heavy-hitters from a heavy hitter. All wines purchased through reputable retailers and stored in a temperature and humidity controlled facility.

“Even at 20+ years of age, this is still rather reserved though determined swirling reveals a nose that is exceptionally fine and pure with fantastic aromatic detail and an almost diaphanous transparency of expression that reveals all of the kaleidoscopic La Tâche spice box nose, including anise, clove, plums, high-toned black cherry, crushed red raspberry and more. The broad, expansive and powerful flavors are still quite firm if not hard yet the strikingly long finish is round, generous, sappy and superbly complex. Despite the aromatic fireworks and firm supporting tannins, there is an underlying tenderness here that allows the ’02 LT to be approachable now even if it's not entirely ready. With that said, the balance is so fine that this should easily age for another 30 years, perhaps even longer. Tasted six times since 2011 with consistent notes.” (96 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound, March 2025)

"This is still rather reserved though determined swirling reveals a nose that is exceptionally fine and pure with fantastic aromatic detail and an almost diaphanous transparency of expression that reveals all of the kaleidoscopic La Tâche spice box nose, including anise, clove, plums, high-toned black cherry, crushed red raspberry and more. The broad, expansive and powerful flavors are still on the strict side with a mid-palate of massive depth yet the finish is round, generous, sappy and superbly complex culminating in a finish that lasts for minutes. Despite the aromatic fireworks and opulent character, there is an underlying tenderness here that suggests that this will be approachable relatively early but the balance is so fine that this should easily age for 30 years, perhaps longer."
