The 2003 La Tache reveals aromas of milk chocolate, violets, roses, and dark cherries. Suave, displaying massive amplitude and a full-bodied, velvety-textured character, this behemoth's flavor profile brings to mind chocolate-covered black cherries. Immensely powerful and noble, it offers an interminable finish that is packed with flawlessly ripe, sweet tannin. Projected maturity: 2013-2030. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Broad, toasted fruit. Very lush delicious. Lacks a little of the finesse and definition of the others here, but lovely drinking now.

Beautiful power and Finess... Let these babies rest in a decanter and if there is a co2 bond let it blow off because what comes next is wonderful!

This La Tache was big, rich and ripe and needs at least another 5-10 yrs to settle.
