Tasting notes
Tasted at the La Tâche vertical at The Square. The La Tâche 1950, not the greatest of Burgundy vintages, has a fully mature appearance–brick core with a tawny rim. All it needs is a pension book to go with it. The nose is actually not that bad: light and quite dusty and leathery with just a touch of molasses. The palate is distinctly leafy and herbaceous, not a million miles away from a Clos de Lambrays 1950 tasted just a few weeks earlier. It finishes in light-hearted, somewhat monotone fashion with hints of orange rind and Vervain tea and then hurries out the exit.

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.
