1975 was one of the worst Burgundy vintages. This La Tache, light, aromatically brilliant, balanced with a weak mid palate and a non existent finish was still a good lunch wine. Slow oxed for 30 minutes prior to drinking — a year ago
Simply brilliant! 2 hours slow ox and drank over the next three aromatically a bit dark, nose of tar, tobacco, dried rose petals wonderfully beautifully mid palate brilliantly balanced the wine is simply amazing! — a year ago
An absolute stunner of a bottle from the legendary 1961 vintage. astounding nose of red fruits, roses, brilliantly balanced ethereal on the mouthfeel with a superb lingering finish! Will have to check the cellar if there are any more of this! The 1961 still has legs! — 5 months ago
Another brilliant bottle! Fantastic aromatically, loads of multilayer complexity with a long finish — a year ago
With a four hour decant this bottle was brilliant! Notes of cedar, tobacco, cassis, dried blueberries it was an excellent accompaniment to the Matsuzaya beef — 2 years ago
Popped and poured and started drinking about 30 minutes later. Amazing! Nose to die for! — 5 months ago
Splash decanted this 1993 La Tache and consumed over the next four hours. Aromatically brilliant and loads of promise but still young — a year ago
Spectacular vintage though I am still trying to guess decant time. This one was decanted 90 minutes and drunk over the next three hours. Tastes as similar as prior. Takes time to expose its wondrous complexity! Next time will decant three hours — 3 years ago
