Tasting Notes
The 2014 La Tâche Grand Cru was picked on 17, 18 and 20 September at 32
hectoliters per hectare, bottled between 1 and 25 April 2016. It has a quite
startling bouquet: dark berry fruit, bay leaf, hints of jasmine tea and autumn
leaves. It delivers multi-faceted aromatics, a mercurial bouquet, brown spices
emerging with continued aeration in the glass. It is a tad more forward than I
expected. The palate is medium-bodied with great structure and fine grip. This
is a slightly more masculine La Tâche and replicating its performance in
barrel, the fruit spectrum shimmies from red to black (incidentally, exactly as
I observed when I tasted it in barrel). There is a lovely lift on the finish
that leaves you with a piquant kiss on the cheek. This is wonderful. 96 points
