Bottle (1)
The Perfect Arc Cellar. This is one of those rare collections that touches upon all the most beautiful parts of the wine growing world, both deep and broad in its scope. Most every wine was purchased on release and stored in an impeccable temperature and humidity-controlled facility.
"Stunning, massive, full-on, classic La Tâche nose that displays almost unbelievable complexity so with many different elements that it is impossible to even begin to describe them all; the primary components include ethereal and still fresh pinot fruit, clove, knock out spiciness, anise, hoisin, soy and a trace of earth but these elements only hint at the sheer depth. The flavors are big, rich, refined, classy, penetrating and superbly powerful yet everything is in perfect balance and there is more than sufficient sève to balance off the still considerable tannins. The finish is intense, pure and so long that it is haunting; I can literally still taste this wine days later after I had it because it has such a dramatic and emotional impact. This is one of the finest, perhaps even the finest young Burgundy I have ever been privileged to try and it only seems to get better with each passing year. In short, this is absolutely brilliant." (99 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound, June 2009)
"The 1990 La Tâche saturates the palate with extraordinary depth and intensity. Hoisin, mocha, exotic spices, leather, licorice and plums meld together in the glass. Powerful and unctuous to the core, the 1990 has it all. This is an especially fine bottle of the 1990. Wow! The 1990 is ripe, voluptuous and racy, yet it retains just enough freshness to balance all of the intensity. The creamy, unctuous finish alone is captivating. This is a fabulous bottle of the 1990 and a total dream wine." (98 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2016)
“Remarkably, even at 30+ years of age there is still almost no bricking. A stunning, highly expressive and completely classic La Tâche nose displays almost unbelievable complexity, with so many different elements that it is impossible to describe them all; the primary components include ripe yet still agreeably fresh dark berry scents nuanced by hints of clove, star anise, hoisin, soy and a trace of earth, but these elements only hint at the sheer depth. The flavors are big, rich, refined, classy, penetrating and superbly powerful, yet everything is in perfect balance on the magnificently long finish, blessed with more than sufficient sève to buffer the still firm though no longer aggressive tannins. This is one of those wines that is so good that it sticks in your mind for days after you try it—indeed it is haunting; in sum it’s a dramatic wine of emotional impact. As an aside, in its youth, this was one of the finest young Burgundies that I have ever been privileged to try, and it only seems to get better with each passing year. For my taste, this is still slowly maturing and has not yet peaked, though I stress that this is to my taste and some may find it to now be in its sweet spot of maturation. Note that while I have had relatively consistent impressions, I have had three bottles that were a bit astringent on the finish and not in the class of what I describe above, even if they were still impressive.” (99 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound, March 2023)
