La Tâche, Domaine de la Romanée Conti 2020

Tasting Notes

The 2020 La Tâche Grand Cru was picked 30 August and 2 and 3 September at 29.7hL/ha. This has to be left for 5-10 minutes to unfurl. Complex nose, pressed flowers (peony and iris), hints of Lapsang Souchong and briary, this La Tâche has a cerebral nature that sets it apart. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins. The 2020 is an exquisitely sculpted and focused wine, the epitome of an iron fist in a velvety glove. Silky smooth in texture, a peacock’s tail on the finish with unerring mineralité, this is a divine La Tâche that will age over many many years. 1,237 cases produced. Tasted at Corney & Barrow’s annual in bottle tasting in London.
