100 Robert Parker
Tasted at the La Tâche vertical at The Square. Having not tasted the La Tâche 1999 since it had been bottled, I was intrigued to see how it was developing. Monumentally, is the correct answer. First and foremost this is a seriously long-term La Tâche that is maturing at a glacial pace. Indeed, I left most in my glass and waited for it to open. An hour later and it was firing on all cylinders. It is blessed with an incredibly intense, powerful nose that loses its broodiness with aeration and eventually unveils a crystalline set of mineral-soaked aromatics that sport a decadent, almost exotic floral note–wilted violets and potpourri. The palate has a quite astonishing structure, but it is more the symmetry that makes this one of the greatest vintages of recent years. It unfolds with daring passion to reveal layers of plush but focused dark plum and cassis fruit that just seem to flow and flow on the never-ending finish. It is a multifaceted, multidimensional masterpiece that really needs another decade in bottle.<br/>

Very deep color. Huge aromas of jammy, candied black cherry, blackberry, boysenberry and spice, extremely charming. An opulent, full-bodied, full-throttle La Tâche, concentrated and packed with ripe tannins and bright acidity, with a long, lingering finish.--La Tâche non-blind vertical. Best from 2020 through 2050. –BS

Domaine de la Romanée Conti
Vous voici en présence du domaine le plus emblématique de Bourgogne, sinon de France voire du monde. Fort du monopole des deux plus grands vignobles – la Romanée-Conti et La Tâche – et d’une collection généreuse de vignes au sein de Vosne-Romanée et au-delà, cette propriété a su s'imposer tout en restant discrète et même modeste. C’est Aubert de Villaine qui dirige le navire - copropriété des familles Villaine et Leroy-Roch-, depuis 1974. Mais les origines de la Romanée-Conti sont bien plus anciennes, remontant au XIIIe siècle, lorsque les premières vignes furent plantées par les moines de Saint-Vivant. La viticulture biologique a été adoptée dans les années 1980, préambule à l’introduction de la biodynamie dans les années 1990. C'est sans doute aussi le domaine le plus célèbre de la région pour la mise en œuvre (depuis toujours) de la fermentation en grappes entières. Cette technique bien établie a été écartée par Henri Jayer, mais a inspiré bien d'autres vignerons ces dernières années. Allen Meadows, sans doute l'expert et critique le plus averti au monde en matière de Bourgogne, n'a décerné une note parfaite qu’à un seul vin - le Romanée-Conti 1945.
