Domaine de la Romanee-Conti La Tache Grand Cru Monopole 1971

ROBERT PARKER ‘ Fully mature, fragile, and loosely knit, this wine reveals significant amber and rust to its color. The nose offers the tell-tale DRC fragrance of oriental spices, soy, smoked meat, herbs, and jammy fruit. Full-bodied and opulent, but extremely low in acidity, with the alcohol just beginning to make itself noticeable, the 1971 La Tache requires near term consumption. ‘
