Note di degustazione
The 2018 La Romanée Grand Cru shows quite a bit of new oak on the nose at the moment and this slightly obscures the terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, beautifully structured, silky-smooth with palpable energy, tension and precision towards the finish. The aromatics might be entering a dumb phase, but the palate evidences a Grand Cru with serious ambition. This is an ethereal La Romanée that seems to care little for the summer heat of that year and just goes about its job. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.

This too is very reserved and only grudgingly reveals its gorgeously pure, elegant and wafting nose which speaks of violet, lavender, Asian-style tea, sandalwood and softly spiced dark currant, plum and black raspberry scents. The silky but intense and exquisitely delineated medium weight flavors possess flat out superb depth on the impressively persistent finish. As it always is at this early stage, the '18 La Romanée is compact yet marvelously classy. Patience strongly advised, indeed I wouldn't even think of opening a bottle before its 15th birthday as it's clearly going to require extended cellaring if you wish to enjoy it at its peak. One of the wines of the 2018 vintage. (Drink starting 2043)
The 2018 La Romanée Grand Cru has a very detailed, complex bouquet of copious black cherry, blueberry and raspberry preserve aromas that burst from the glass, seamlessly integrated with the new oak. This is a multidimensional bouquet (as usual). The palate is medium-bodied, with supple tannins rendering this a very pliant La Romanée. Extremely focused with a silky texture and a vibrant, sorbet-fresh, persistent finish that lingers in the mouth. This is another profound La Romanée that will give decades of drinking pleasure for those who can afford that pleasure.
