La Tache 1979
Domaine de la Romanee Conti
10cm, bsl, scl, crc, #0031, owc without lid, excellent color
Methuselah (1)

The Rafiki Collection: A spectacular assortment from a meticulous NJ collector. Picture perfect wines from an ice-cold wine cellar on the estate.

"Classic La Tâche nose of dried rose petals and plentiful Vosne spice plus notes of hoisin, soy and the initial hints of sous-bois lead to pretty, beautifully detailed, elegant flavors that dance across the palate, culminating in fine length. Compared to more robust vintages, this is a lighter wine that delivers much satisfaction via sheer elegance and complexity and I especially admire the sweetness and mouth coating sappiness of the long finish. A very good rather than great LT but one that I always enjoy. Beginning to tire in fifth, drinking well in magnum and in this format [methuselah], perfect now." 91 pts Allen Meadows, Burghound, Dec. 1999)
