Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache Grand Cru MONOPOLE 2002
- This is still rather reserved though determined swirling reveals a nose that is exceptionally fine and pure with fantastic aromatic detail and an almost diaphanous transparency of expression that reveals all of the kaleidoscopic La Tache spice box nose, including anise, clove, plums, high-toned black cherry, crushed red raspberry and more. The broad, expansive, and powerful flavors are still on the strict side with a mid-palate of massive depth yet the finish is round, generous, sappy, and superbly complex culminating in a finish that lasts for minutes. Despite the aromatic fireworks and opulent character, there is an underlying tenderness here that will allow the '02 LT to be approachable now even if it's not entirely ready. With that said, the balance is so fine that this should easily age for another 30 years, perhaps even longer. Tasted four times since 2011 with consistent notes.
