Parker about La Tâche Grand Cru 1996
A deep ruby color with very little aging. There is a tangible stalkiness on the nose that seems to dissipate with a few swirls of the glass. The nose is reticent at first, dark cherries, blackberry leaf, a touch of dried blood and cooked meats with blueberries and violets evolving after twenty minutes in the glass. The palate has beautiful poise, firm tannins and moving towards secondary flavors: sour cherry, dried orange peel, and a ferrous finish. I feel this La Tache is undergoing its adolescence, an “awkwardness” that will resolve itself five or six years hence. “A moody git” are the last three words I scribbled as I vainly tried to extract it out of its sulk, but I give up. Just cellar it because it will deliver! Tasted February 2008.

La Tâche Grand Cru 1996
The 1996 La Tâche Grand Cru from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is an iconic wine known for both its power and elegance. A deep, vibrant ruby red, it opens on the nose with a stunning bouquet of black cherries, dark berries, and ripe plums, underscored by notes of licorice, earthy tones, and delicate spices. Subtle hints of violets and dried herbs add further depth.
On the palate, the 1996 La Tâche displays impressive structure, with powerful, finely honed tannins and a lively acidity typical of the vintage. The balance between fruit, tannin, and acidity gives the wine exceptional precision and harmony. The finish is incredibly long and complex, characterized by mineral notes and a deep spiciness that lingers. This vintage has great aging potential and will continue to evolve for decades, already revealing remarkable finesse and complexity.
