Tasting notes
Starts out supple and silky, showing a nice combination of acidity and fruit, then kicks in with a good, intense finish. Medium-bodied, it finishes a bit crisp and sharp.--La Tâche vertical. Drink now through 2010. Wine Spectator Sep 30, 1999

PRODUCTION: 2,685 cases. This was a gorgeously delicious wine to drink during the first 7-8 years of its life, when I consistently rated it 88-91. It has now become diffuse and muddled with fading fruit. The color is a medium garnet with noticeable browning at the edge. Some of the famed DRC perfume of smoky oak and overripe fruit can still be found, but in the mouth the wine tastes flabby and unstructured. It is beginning to crack up, and should be drunk immediately. Aug 1995, www.robertparker.com
About the producer
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti or simply “DRC” is without doubt the most famous domaine in Burgundy and one of the most famous producers on earth. The Grand Cru vineyard from which it takes its name produces the world’s most expensive wine by a long margin.
