If it gets any better than this, please pour me some. This was a special bottle.

1999 DRC La Tache. Date night at Margot. Decanted and served, which was the right play. Lots of dark fruit, meat, and savory notes. “In the jowls” - great mouthfeel.

1999 DRC La Tache. A&S’ anniversary dinner at Danko. Cigar ash, plum, cedar, bergamot. Didn’t decant on advice of Somm. Perfect.

Darker with intense blue fruit gorgeous and concentrated but with lifted plummy fruit and star anise. A saline quality and real depth. Young and amazing.

Good dark red; not crystal-clear. Very ripe, musky, multidimensional nose combines blackberry, raspberry, violet, earth, game, black pepper and herbs, plus a positive vegetal nuance. Plush, silky and very ripe but not particularly sweet, with concentrated dark fruit, spice and pepper flavors complicated by a hint of prune. ("More fruit ripeness than the '15," noted Aubert de Villaine just moments after we had tasted the '15 La Tâche) Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and a note of licorice. Not particularly high in acidity but this extremely complex wine is still just short of its peak drinking window. (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, March 2018)

Yes? Super green. Greeny tart unripe stuff. Again, against my advice not decanted as long as i would have done under normal circumstances. Not my circus, not my monkeys. A bunch of good dirty notes, i suspect it would have been an excellent example in either 10 more years, or an additional 40 min in the Decanter. :/
