Tannins are the most prevalent characteristic now, but the meaty coffee and chocolate nuances indicate this has the potential to emerge as a complex, subtle, spicy, almost delicate wine. Has a sense of weightless concentration.

PRODUCTION: Not available. The fully mature 1987 La Tache exhibits a medium ruby color with some amber at the edge. The tell-tale DRC nose of smoky, gamy scents intertwined with those of ripe berry fruit and herbs is followed by a wine with noticeably high acidity, good weight, full body, and some tannin to shed. The wine should drink well for another 7-8 years, although the acidity may begin to dominate the fruit.
