Light red. Beautiful nose, very youthful and pure. A vegetal note emerges with air. Packed with dense fruit and marked by a very firm structure of both acidity and dense tannins. The fruit is locked up right now in this massive, powerful La Tache. Rather than open in the glass, this appears to close up, but have faith; this will be great.--La Tache non-blind vertical. Best from 2010 through 2030. Wine Spectator

1993 has the grip of a much younger wine - after two hours in the decanter - this beast, cut like a professional athlete starting to show some charm. hard to drink because we did not want to stop smelling the glass - exotic, punctuated and defined.... 23 years young I recommend waiting till 2025... but I will gladly open your bottle with you anytime. Tasted side-by-side with J-F-Mugnier Musigny 1996; 15 out of 16 of us got the wines backwards. Gwen restaurant at the best bottle dinner hosted by WineLA

This took a while (four plus hours of Audoze style airing) to open up. A monument to complexity favoring those with patience

This is both young and fantastically approachable. Great deep clear fruit and great depth but levity on the palate. Extraordinary fruit quality, both dynamic and subtle. Great stuff.

Still young. Incredibly pure. Amazing nose. Almost Gevrey-like nose. Minerality and a saline blue fruit intensity. Really good. Wow

Paradigm La Tache. Focused and pure. Best bottle from the case I bought. 5 more bottles. No rush
