Red Burgundy

'Powerful and expressive aromas of spice, sous bois, remnants of red fruit and warm earth lead to more spice and very strong notes of underbrush and decaying leaves on the palate. However, the finish is still very intense and packs very good punch and the backend has more than a touch of rusticity to it. This is still in fine condition and while there is no further improvement to be had, neither is there any risk of imminent decline either. Tasted multiple times, consistent notes.' - Burghound

'A remarkably ripe and now completely secondary nose features notes of spice, earth and sous bois and is followed by rich, elegant and fantastically complex flavors that coat the palate and deliver truly outstanding length on the velvety finish. If one wanted to nit pick, a bit more acid balance would be nice but I like this a lot as it's incredibly seductive though I'm sensing that even perfectly stored examples are beginning to tire just a bit. This is a really lovely wine and the '78 is one of those rare vintages where the Richebourg surpasses the La Tâche. Relatively consistent notes.' - Burghound

'The perfumed nose has now gone almost completely secondary with hints of sous bois adding nuance to the classic spice box character of a fine RSV. I particularly like the purity of expression (yet no lack of power) which combined with the outstanding length make this an excellent effort that should continue to hold at this level for a number of years. Consistent notes.' - Burghound

"Wonderful aromatics of Vosne spice, black fruit and hints of earth and violets followed by rich, velvety flavors of stunning complexity and exceptional length. This has finally started to open and shows even more promise now than it did before as the hardness of the tannins is melting, revealing classic RSV qualities. Drinkable now but this will undoubtedly be better with a few more years of bottle age. Multiple and consistent notes." - Burghound

"Classic and explosive RSV nose with superbly elegant black fruit nose framed by a subtle touch of wood that just exudes Asian spice followed by tight, pure, concentrated and intense flavors of outstanding complexity and length. This is dense and still quite young. A dramatic, extremely impressive wine that has it all and I would suggest giving this at least another 5 years of cellar time and drink over the next 15. Multiple, and consistent, notes." - Burghound

'This has evolved somewhat more positively than I imagined and still has at least some potential remaining. The nose initially revealed considerable stem influence but after 45 minutes of airing, the spice and dark fruit elements began to assert themselves with the overall impression being one of elegance, purity and impressive complexity. The firm middle weight plus flavors are detailed, minerally, powerful and beautifully focused, all wrapped in a lingering finish of superb length. This is classy juice and while the '93 Riche can be drunk with pleasure now, for my taste it still could benefit from another 4 to 5 years of cellar time (though note that it will age for decades to come). That said, if the urge moves you, this is already a lovely wine. Tasted on multiple occasions.' - Burghound

Everything that I saw from cask made it into bottle intact and words remain inadequate to describe just how good this wine is, as the '99 is a classic La Tâche in every respect with its incredibly pure marvelously intense oriental spice box nose that merges seamlessly into big rich and enveloping flavors of hoisin and pure pinot extract of indescribable complexity and length. The big tannins are completely wrapped in velvet and the finish simply does not quit. This is destined to become one of the all-time great vintages of La Tâche and even at 98 points it's clear that I was too conservative and thus I am raising my score accordingly. Moreover among the many bottles that I have been blessed to have tried I have never had a bottle that was anything less than sensational. However note that the '99 LT is going to be a long-distance runner so a strategy of cellar and forget is strongly advised at least for the next decade or so. Multiple and consistent notes.

"As one would reasonably expect here the nose is both more elegant and finer with red pinot fruit aromas nuanced by earth and underbrush that are also picked up by the rich, full and sweet flavors that possess lovely depth and while the tannins are not as sophisticated as the following 1ers, this too is really quite fine for its level." - Burghound

A notably ripe yet still extremely fresh nose where the fruit is primarily red and admirably layered merges seamlessly into dense, concentrated and exceptionally textured medium weight plus flavors that despite the size and weight retain a fine sense of delineation on the powerful but harmonious finish. This is a truly amazing villages with some of the best underlying material I've seen in this vintage at this level. This beauty should reward 8 to 10 years of cellar time and then drink well for another decade. Allen Meadows, Burghound.com

A very different nose of leather, freshly turned earth and relatively high-toned dark pinot fruit that introduces rich, full and velvety medium weight plus flavors blessed with ample dry extract on the concentrated mid-palate that completely buffers the serious and long finish underpinned by a firm tannic spine. This is an impressive wine that displays no rusticity at all. Recommended. Allen Meadows, Burghound.com

A wonderfully broad-based nose displays notes of violets, blue berry, earth and subtle spice hints that complement well the finer and equally silky palate impression with an attractive mineral streak, all wrapped in an almost painfully intense and gorgeously persistent finish. Another terrific effort that barely contains its sense of energy. Allen Meadows, Burghound.com

'A surprisingly expressive nose displays a broad panoply of ripe floral and fruit aromas that include red raspberry, cherry, plum, violet and rose surrounded by warm soil tones that can also be found on the powerful and tautly muscled large scaled flavors blessed with ample underlying reserves of dry extract that render the relatively refined tannins invisible at present on the explosive and exceptionally deep finish where notes of citrus and floral resurface. A seriously impressive wine of Zen-like harmony and poise.' - Burghound

This is distinctly floral with a very Gevrey-like nose of underbrush, earth and highly-complex red berry fruit that evidences a noticeable animale quality that can also be found on the big-bodied, robust and very rich flavors that possess solid material and fine length. A solid villages. Allen Meadows, Burghound.com

'A very backward nose that is also quite reduced leads to big, rich, and opulent flavors that possess a forceful, detailed and quite minerally finish that is serious, brooding and strikingly long yet despite the power possesses a seductive mouth feel that remains detailed and quite precise. I really like the texture and like the Bonnes Mares, it delivers a wonderful combination of power and finesse.' - Burghound
