88 La Tache

1988 Domaine de la Romanée Conti, La Tache;
(Normal bottle) Bright garnet, tiny brick rim, again peppery, strawberries, roses and something more heavy fruity and earthy notes behind. Fresh acidity, very complex and elegant, great balance, even if more mature on the colour, and more smell and flavours than the Jeroboam, it does not sem that much more developed. Keep this another ten years. 92
