Red Burgundy

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.

'A highly spiced and intensely floral nose evidences hints of violet, lilac, wild rose and lavender along with notes of both red and black pinot fruit, kirsch, earth and stone hints that continue onto the pure and silky broad-shouldered flavors that also possess a powerful yet almost delicate mouth feel. This is a very interesting wine as the dense tannins are so fine-grained that the palate impression is like the finest satin. The driving minerality adds another element and there is a palpable sense of energy to the balanced, focused and beautifully well-delineated finish that explodes with mouth coating dry extract. This is unapologetically built to age and indeed it will require plenty of it. Succinctly put, this is breathtakingly good.' - 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

Stylistically this borrows elements from both the '97 and the '96 as it combines moderate floral notes with most of the spice soy and hoisin of the '96 plus the densest flavors of any vintage to this point. The mid-palate doesn't have quite the same sap of the '96 and the long dusty finish offers a hint of chocolate and violets. This too has the potential to be very long lived and even at 13 years of age it's clear that it still has another 7 to 10 years to go before it reaches its full potential. Multiple notes with consistent results; in fact a recent bottle tasted in Burgundy was even better than the bottle in the big La Tâche tasting held in early '03.

' An expressive and notably ripe nose combines relatively generous wood influence with plum, earth and cassis aromas that introduce textured and palate staining flavors that possess outstanding energy as they explode on the powerful and hugely long finish. This is a big yet elegant Charmes with enormous aging potential. Buy it if you can find it.' - 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

This is finally beginning to display signs of coming around in our lifetime as the nose reveals the initial signs of maturity with its black fruit and violet-infused nose that is no longer completely primary. And the big, robust, powerful and exceptionally dense flavors are also beginning to soften and while the supporting tannic spine is still firm, it's no longer dominant on the gorgeously long finish. To be sure, this remains a big and robust Corton cut from classic vintage cloth but it should be drinking well from its 20th birthday on - Allen Meadows, 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

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 very ripe plum and floral nose also reflects notes of warm earth and minerality that slides into very fresh, rich, round and forward medium plus weight flavors that are quite generous, even fleshy yet there is good delineation on the serious, delicious, powerful and persistent finish that is supported by fine tannins. This is a lovely wine of distinction balance and harmony that is built to age over the next decade or so as the underlying material is superb.' - Burghound

"A gorgeous, spicy and expressive nose of mostly black fruit aromas combines with rich, sweet and still tight medium full and quite firmly structured flavors that possess a long though slightly edgy and austere finish. Note that this bottle showed better than the one reviewed in the big Richebourg retrospective held in October, 2001. I would not touch another bottle for at least 5 years and this easily has 20 year+ potential as it will require a long time to completely unwind. Tasted on multiple occasions with consistent notes."

'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

'Intense, elegant and pure spicy black fruit aromas that still remain relativley, if not completely, primary even after 19 years are followed by rich, full, robust and still moderately structured flavors of notable detail and precision that culminate in a wonderfully long, palate staining finish. At this point, the right food is important as the '89 GE is just now arriving at the front edge of real drinkability and it should hold here for years to come. Solidly impressive juice whose only flaw is the barest trace of finishing greenness. In sum, a very good rather than great example, at least by the lofty standards of this wine.' - Burghound

'As the appellation typically is, this is very cool and restrained when young and so it is here with the airy and refined nose of red berry fruit and minerals that leads to equally mineral-inflected, complex and mouth coating medium weight flavors that are blessed with ample amounts of sap on the impressively long but notably firm finish.' - Burghound

This is very ripe yet fresh with the stems contributing a distinct floral influence to the pure black pinot fruit, earth and wet stone aromas. There is excellent richness to the dense and very serious medium-bodied flavors where the underlying structural elements are notably ripe. One aspect of this that I very much like is that despite the high level of ripeness, there is good energy and freshness. A fine villages that could be drunk young. Allen Meadows, Burghound.com

Strong reduction renders the nose impossible to reasonably assess but the sweet, robust and serious medium full-bodied flavors are blessed with plenty of dry extract that buffers the firm tannins on the pure, sweet and intense finish that displays real linearity and vibrancy. Lovely. Allen Meadows, Burghound
