The '59 La Tâche has always been a relatively tannic and robust wine though the last bottle that I had some years ago was drinking well). Relatively discreet and understated yet fantastically complex nose of fully mature and secondary fruit aromas liberally laced with caramel, earth and the classic La Tâche oriental spice notes that merge seamlessly into incredibly rich, dense and pure flavors of stunning depth and length and the only, extremely minor nit is a touch of alcoholic warmth on the finish. Otherwise, this is flawless and drinking perfectly with nothing but sheer silk and velvet in the mouth.

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Arguably Burgundy's most exalted village, home to legendary Grand Crus. Its Pinot Noir is renowned for perfume, silk and sublime complexity.
