Tasting notes
The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's 1994 La Tâche Grand Cru does not transcend the limitations of this challenging vintage, offering up a rather pedestrian bouquet of red-black fruit and licorice, becoming more and more dominated by its lavish application of high-quality new oak as it sits in the glass and never revealing any of the aromatic drama of which La Tâche is capable. On the palate, the wine is chunky and foursquare, with bright acids and a certain tannic asperity that suggests this is unlikely to change in any critical respect in the foreseeable future.

Aromatically ripe, floral and spicy with hints of the classic La Tâche nose but there are also hints of under ripe fruit. The flavors coat the mouth and they are still quite firm and youthful but the back end displays more than a trace of astringency and a healthy dose of austerity. Perfectly good for the vintage but not exceptional. Consistent notes. Allen Meadows, Burghound Nov17,2005
