The texture is dense, with a tannic line that was lush and supple yet supported the fruit and balanced the acidity seamlessly. The combination of freshness, firm tannin, and fruit draws the wine out to an impossibly long finish. My impression on the day was that this wine has just about everything. 26,887 bottles produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Decanter, 99 pts. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI was impressed with the rich, lush and dense texture of La Tâche , boasting black cherry, black currant, licorice, black pepper and spice flavors.

Comparing it directly with the 2023 Romanée-Conti, this has slightly more intensity. It is ineffably complex with crushed stone, heather-strewn moorland and subtle estuarine scents that gradually gather momentum with aeration. As usual, this is endowed with heavenly delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, pitch-perfect acidity, real depth and insistent grip, though the tannins are cloaked by that gorgeous dark berry fruit mixed with blood orange and sage. Long and tender on the aftertaste, this is a magnificent La Tâche. 26,887 bottles produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Vinous, 97 pts. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINTAGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48245850374331,"sku":null,"price":5499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/6837\/files\/DRC-La-Tache__22175.webp?v=1786735981"},{"product_id":"2023-domaine-de-la-romanee-conti-richebourg-grand-cru-cote-de-nuits-france-750ml","title":"2023 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Richebourg Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, France (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 Richebourg Grand Cru is a total stunner. Bright and beautifully sculpted, with tremendous energy, the Richebourg is one of the wines in the range of 2023s that offers a super-classic sense of Burgundian transparency. Crushed rocks, mint, white pepper, blood orange and red-toned fruit are finely sketched. Richebourg is rarely this elegant.

With time in the glass, ripe aromas of mulberry fruit and spice, along with a suggestion of well-integrated barrel notes, begin to develop. There is abundant tannin and grip that give depth to the creamy texture and lead the wine to an impressively long finish. The wine is less opulent than the Romanée-St-Vivant, but perhaps has even more long-term ageing potential. 14,950 bottles produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Decanter, 97 pts. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the other hand, Richebourg was opulent and forthcoming, featuring spicy cherry and sandalwood notes underscored by firm tannins, if not the depth of the Romanée-St.-Vivant (96 points, non-blind).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Wine Spectator, 96 pts. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINTAGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48245910405307,"sku":null,"price":3999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/6837\/files\/S020_2018NM_c.png?v=1786736950"},{"product_id":"2023-domaine-de-la-romanee-conti-romanee-saint-vivant-grand-cru-cote-de-nuits-france-750ml","title":"2023 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, France (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wine of surpassing elegance and finesse, offering a perfumed black cherry fruit aroma with hints of rose petals and liquorice; the aromas feature the spiciness of the fruit more than the effect of oak ageing.

Super-ripe dark red cherry, pomegranate, mint, blood orange and exotic spice tones stain the palate. The Romanée-Saint-Vivant shows all the natural richness of the year in its unctuous mid-palate and decidedly ripe profile.
