Note di degustazione
The 2016 La Romanée Grand Cru has a lilting bouquet of crushed strawberry and red cherry on the nose, perhaps missing the ambitions and the complexity of the very best vintages that I have tasted over the years. That said, it is very pretty and more open. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and a fine bead of acidity. It gains complexity with aeration and reveals its hidden mineralité , becoming spicy and slightly peppery towards the finish. Excellent, although I would not place it top of the class. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.

A discreetly perfumed and brilliantly layered nose reflects notes of both red and dark berries along with a cornucopia of spice and floral elements. The hallmark sophistication of a fine La Romanée is present in spades with a notably finer mouthfeel to the sleekly textured flavors that juxtapose the refinement of the mid-palate with the firmly structured and youthfully austere finish that delivers stunningly good length. There is superb density and once again an abundance of dry extract that should enable beauty to age for years to come and note well that it's going to need plenty of it. In sum, this is seriously good, indeed the word brilliant comes to mind. Drink 2036+
Bright, dark red-ruby. Knockout aromas and flavors of black raspberry, violet, cocoa powder, oak spices and subtle earth tones. At once oakier and more backward than the Echézeaux; quite large-scaled, plush and full but showing little early sweetness. This powerful wine finishes classically dry, with big, broad, almost Cabernet-like tannins and pungent notes of crushed rock and saline minerality. Should go on for at least two decades in bottle.
