La Tache 2005 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti La Tache 2005 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Cote de Nuits, Grand Cru Lot 6125: Magnum #s 00046-00048, 00108, 00131, 00132, 3 very slightly scuffed, 1 slightly damp stained and 2 slightly marked labels Lot 6126: Magnum #s 00183, 00209, 00210, 00212, 00214, 00305, wine comes from 3 different importers, 4 slightly marked and 2 slightly scuffed labels Lot 6127: Magnum # 00459 Lot 6128: Magnum # 00470, very slightly scuffed label, sign of seepage, original straw wrap Lot 6129: Magnum # 00201, very slightly nicked and slightly bin marked label Lot 6130: Jeroboam # 0004, banded prior to inspection Beautiful, noble, sweet violets and raspberry nose. Damp earth and a touch of cinnamon. Great, huge, "woody" flavour. In full, rosy bloom. Very black fruit aftertaste. Cassis and blackberries. Big tannic structure. Then, from magnum in 2009. Deep, but very bright, crimson colour. The sheer breadth and dimension of the bouquet is (almost) indescribable. Raspberries, roses, cassis and redcurrants. Heady. Dramatic, violetty, sweet taste. So intense and with such a concentrated core to it. Amazing blackcurrant finish. Flawless. A liqueur-like texture. Combines being ethereal with being rich. Much later, in the almost empty glass, Cognac/vanilla/eau de vie! Stupendous. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Lot 6125 6 mags (sc) Lot 6126 6 mags (sc) per lot: HKD 360000-480000 per lot: USD 45000-60000 6.06 ha (14.4 acres), average production 1870 cases, average age of vines: 46 years 75% of the vineyard is constituted from grafts of the Romanee-Conti vineyard. The vineyard is a monopole, the Domaine acquiring what is, today, the La Tache vineyard in 1933 and henceforth recognized as AC La Tache in 1936. Why do I love La Tache? Well, plums and roses and deep, plush velvet fruit is the reason. The texture is always thicker than Romanee-Conti. Serena Sutcliffe, MW The Domaine, as it is known, is iconic. Much more important, it also produces the most extraordinary wines in Burgundy - and it has been doing so for a long time. The generations responsible for the Domaine change, but the terroir remains. And these are very special vineyard parcels indeed, married to meticulous care and philosophy leading to low yields and healthy, ripe grapes, at whatever cost. From the 1990s, vineyard policy has been organic, with co-owner Aubert de Villaine monitoring everything with his usual attention to detail. Domaine de la Romanee-Conti wines evolve and develop dimensions in a way that resembles a mosaic - points of bouquet and flavour making up a harmonious whole that becomes more beautiful as it unfolds in the glass. Yes, these are hedonistic wines and yes, they are not like any other. The trick is in capturing what these remarkable plots of vines can give and letting them express themselves through minimum intervention and enlightened nurturing. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Quantity: 1
