06 La Tache

2006 Domaine de la Romanée Conti, La Tache;

Ruby with thin pink rim, strawberries, raspberries, white pepper, tiny touch of leather, floral, some jasmin and violets, even roses behind. Black tea hoovers over it all. Such elegance, fresh acidity and ripe and elegant tannins, exceptionnal balance, such pure youth, such indulging elegance, and what a fantastic aftertaste, never ends. 97
