Please see Issue 17 or the appropriate Burghound.com database entries for co-director Aubert de Villaine's description of the 2003 vintage. The 2004 Montrachet will be reviewed in Issue 27. (Wilson-Daniels, St. Helena, CA; John Armit Wines, Berry Brothers & Rudd, Justerini & Brooks and Planet Wines, all UK). Note: This is in need of at least another 15 years even though it is not particularly structured; be sure to give it plenty of air - Aubert de Villaine Stylistically, this borrows elements from both the '97 and the '96 as it combines moderate floral notes with most of the spice, read more...

Stylistically, this borrows elements from both the '97 and the '96 as it combines moderate floral notes with most of the spice, soy and hoisin of the '96 plus the densest flavors of any vintage to this point. The mid-palate doesn't have quite the same sap of the '96 and the long, dusty finish offers a hint of chocolate. This too has the potential to be very long lived. Multiple notes with consistent results; in fact, a recent bottle tasted in Burgundy was even better than the bottle in the big La Tâche tasting held in early '03.

The darkest red colour of all. On the nose, the wine is sharp, as if it were double-locked in its tannic coating (gangue). The enigmatic character of this wine finds its full expression in this wine, even if we detect some hints of liquorice typical of La Tache. Great potential, reserved, its length and thickness on the palate announce interesting developments ... if you are patient enough to wait!
