2005 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti - La Tâche - 1 Normalflasche (0,75 Liter)

Bottle number: 05112. Always stored in wine cellar, excellent condition.

The 2005 La Tache epitomizes the unique mysteries of Pinot (not to mention the character of a great site), with its aromas of game, musk, iris, star anise, vanilla, allspice, and naturally also an abundance of sweet, ripe, implosively tiny-berried fruit. Imagine a black Riesling. On the palate, a vivid freshness of fruit, pungency of spice and flowers, and melting away of what in point of analytical fact are abundant tannins, all engender an almost white wine dynamic of fruit-mineral call-and-response and clear, incisive penetration of flavors to every recess of the mouth.

Of course I can send the bottle with insured shipment, securely wrapped in lots of bubblewrap, but because of its value, I would really prefer you to come over and pick up this wine.
