Note di degustazione
The 1980 La Romanée Grand Cru replicates its showing at the vertical tasting in 2014. Clear in color, it presents a bouquet that is a little faded, with mulberry fruit laced with black truffle, here rather upstaged by the 1980 Les Petits-Monts from Hudelot-Nöellat. The palate is medium-bodied and lithe, though missing some complexity and the class you would expect from a Grand Cru. Not bad, but I have had better wines from this vintage.

Tasted at the La Romanée vertical at Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair. The 1980 La Romanée Grand Cru, sporting a Bouchard Père et Fils label, had been acquired directly from Bouchard's cellars. It has a clear, lucid colour with less bricking on the rim compared to the previous vintage. The palate is clean and pure with mulberry, black truffle and pastille scents. It is nowhere near the quality of say, the La Tâche 1980, although it is cut from the same elegant cloth. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, supple tannin. There is good acidity here and fine balance, missing some complexity toward the finish. Yet it is still offering pleasure, though feels a little broad-shouldered and lacking grand cru class. Tasted June 2015.
