2012 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti La Tache
Bright dark red. Musky strawberry, raspberry, wild spices and minerals on the pure but rather subdued nose; less showy today than the RSV or Richebourg. The palate offers outstanding imploded intensity and lift to the almost liqueur-like red berry and spice flavors. Wonderfully full without being the least bit heavy. The sugar/acid balance here is truly exhilarating. Great expanding aftertaste shows a captivating candied quality and terrific lift and cut.

2012 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Romanee-Conti 97-100
(this was the estate's first Cote de Nuits vineyard harvested in 2012, on September 22): Dark red-ruby. Ineffable complexity on the nose, including scents of pungent minerals, black raspberry, licorice, white pepper and noble herbs ("another world," commented de Villaine). Not a powerhouse but an essence of berries, with an incredibly voluptuous mouth feel enlivened by wild herbs and spices. This saline, 3-D beauty coats the palate with a texture of liquid silk. The tactile, superconcentrated, incredibly long finish leaves behind a perfume that refuses to dissipate. I just about ran out of points for this one! (I should note that de Villaine said it reminds him of the legendary 1962.)
