DRC La Tâche 1987
Because 1987 was a challenging, cool, and damp vintage across the Côte de Nuits, this wine is lighter and leaner than blockbuster years.
Nonetheless, it remains a highly-prized bottle for due to DRC’s exceptional winemaking standards.
It has a medium ruby colour with noticeable amber or orange tinting at the edge, typical of an ageing Burgundy.
The nose is highly aromatic with the signature “tell-tale” DRC nose, featuring smoky, gamey scents, dried rose petals, forest floor, leather, and truffles.
On the palate, it is lean and structured with high, dominant acidity and rougher, resolved tannins.
It features subtle faded red fruit, spices, and an impressive, lingering finish.
In conclusion, DRC crafted 11,186 bottles of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche 1987.
Would you like to compare this vintage to another great year for La Tâche, such as 1971 or 1978?
Are you, on the other hand, looking to purchase a bottle for a specific occasion, or are you, alternatively, researching the tasting history of this particular vintage?
Furthermore, older bottles often show signs of age, such as slightly damaged capsules and/or scuffed or damp-stained labels.
However, this is perfectly normal and does not mean that the wine is faulty or damaged, nor that the bottle is a counterfeit or fake.
Ultimately, when you buy from a reputable specialist merchant like Arden Fine Wines, you guarantee the best quality.
