92/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2009 La Tâche Grand Cru has tasted brilliantly before, though this bottle was not in the same leagues. It is quite a high-toned, flashy bouquet with just a touch of VA that ebbs with aeration, though never fully. There is a soupçon of dark chocolate that infuses the red fruit. Interestingly, this was always a heady La Tâche, but this bottle seems to take that a step too far. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, plenty of bitter cherries and crushed red berries laced with tobacco. It's "fat" on the finish with a reasonably generous, spicy end. Fine, but I was surprised when its identity was revealed. Better bottles out there or a wine whose future is not guaranteed to elicit superlatives? Tasted blind at the 2009 horizontal at Club 1243.
