Mid ruby. Complex, intriguing nose with lots of edginess. Quite a bit of tannin in evidence. Hint of violets but still very much work in progress. There's a very slightly vegetal note at present. I would sit on this for quite a while. (JR)
The 2011 La Tâche Grand Cru is consistent with my previous notes from 2014. It retains a complete and harmonious bouquet with brambly red fruit and crushed stone, plenty of sous-bois character - perhaps more here than in other recent vintages. The palate is medium-bodied, pure and refined. Whilst not as deep or as complex as say, the 2012 or 2014, it feels silky smooth and as if it has put on a little more weight in recent months. One to watch. Tasted at a private dinner in Burgundy.
