2012 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tache La Tache Rouge 750ml

2012 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche: Monopole Grand Cru Royalty

The 2012 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche Grand Cru Rouge 750ml captures the commanding nobility and haunting floral spice of DRC’s historic monopole. In particular, this 6.06-hectare vineyard climbs the full mid-slope of Vosne-Romanée on complex limestone and fossil-rich marl soils. In addition, the concentrated 2012 harvest produced fruit of exceptional purity, refined tannins, and vibrant natural freshness.

Tasting Notes for 2012 DRC La Tâche

The wine opens with intoxicating aromas of wild dark cherry, black raspberry, fresh violets, and warm spices. Furthermore, complex hints of crushed stone, forest floor, and licorice root emerge gracefully in the glass. On the palate, powerful, fine-grained tannins frame a dense core of concentrated dark fruit. Consequently, the finish lingers with extraordinary length, mineral cut, and aristocratic Grand Cru composure.
