Note di degustazione
Ruby-hued with an incredibly perfumed bouquet of darker berries, peppery herbs, smoked meats, and graphite that picks up more spice and floral nuances with air, the 2016 La Tache Grand Cru is still youthful yet offers incredible pleasure, especially with time in the glass. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has wonderfully integrated stems, a slightly more structured, focused style than usual, ample mid-palate depth, and flawless balance. It's an absolutely brilliant La Tâche that's probably 5-7 years from maturity and will evolve gracefully over the following 30 years or more. Drink 2031-2056.

The 2016 La Tâche Grand Cru was picked on September 24–25 at 31hL/ha (the highest of the five crus ). It has an utterly sublime bouquet of blackberry, briar, crushed limestone, a dash of cracked black pepper and a little oregano. This is extremely complex and displays exquisite focus, to the extent that you could just sit and nose it all day. The palate is beautifully balanced, the spicy red fruit framed by filigreed tannin that belies its backbone. There is a gentle crescendo from start to finish, though being La Tâche it retains complete control. The precision and detail in the final third are deeply impressive. Less fruit-forward than the 2015, and lightly spiced, with an insistent grip. There is a captivating sense of completeness that will ensure longevity through three or four decades. 1,814 cases produced. Tasted at Corney & Barrow’s annual in-bottle tasting in London.
