Tasting notes
Tasted at the La Romanée vertical at Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair. The 1984 La Romanée, which was labeled under Bouchard Père et Fils, is mature in color with a wide tawny rim. The nose is rather dusty at first, tertiary and leather and clearly denuded of fruité by the passing years. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, tart cherry fruit, not undrinkable, but showing some rawness and attenuation on the finish. It is actually respectable for a 1984 Burgundy, but it should be consumed in the next 4-6 years with low expectations. Tasted June 2015.
