Tasting Notes
Vinous 98
The 2020 La Tache Grand Cru is very typically La Tache. Plum, hoisin, spice and blood orange are all amplified in an explosive, massively backward La Tache that will need 15-20 years in the cellar to start drinking well. As is so often the case, whole clusters lend an exotic spice quality that is front and center. The warm growing season has taken all the La Tache signatures and amplified them, resulting in a dense, explosive Burgundy that will thrill readers lucky enough to own it for many decades to come.

Transparent garnet. Spicy, rich depths but pretty uncommunicative on the nose – just a very slight roasted element. Just a little skinnier than usual. Or is it simply refined? It s certainly very sleek rather than rich. Very pure, light tannic signature. Perhaps this is a cross between the usual Tache style and the Richebourg s transparency? It s certainly different from previous vintages I can remember. A little stricter. (JR) [02/02/2023]
