The Wine Advocate 94/100
"Domaine de La Romanee-Conti¡¦s 2006 La Tache possesses
a sense of sheer density and a viscosity ¡V by no means
precluding energy ¡V that go beyond the other wines in the
Domaine¡¦s current collection. Scents of bitter-sweet floral
perfume, citrus oils, white pepper, peat, and black fruit
distillates pungently, almost aggressively fill the nose. The
marrow and beef gelatin aspect of this Pinot is salient, but
is allied on a palpably tannic palate with similarly impressive
concentrated cooked black fruits, dark mushroom stock,
forest floor, smoky Lapsang tea, and licorice. For grip and
power, too, this surpasses its stable mates. But a glance back
at the Romanee-St.-Vivant suggests that you can¡¦t have it all,
and that this La Tache cannot approach that wine¡¦s finesse
or quite equal its mystery. Still, I suspect this will be worth
following for at least two decades."
