The red wine La Tâche Grand Cru AOC Monopole, vintage 1990 from the winery Domaine de la Romanée-Conti has been rated in 2016 by Peter Moser with 96 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Pinot Noir from the region Cote de Nuits in France.
Rich, deep crimson, ruby reflections, broad ochre rim. Delicately smoky underlying black berry fruit nuances, blackberry, nuances of roasted aromas, some chocolate, notes of mint and a hint of truffles, multi-faceted aroma, opens up well with aeration. On the palate a firm backbone, dark berry again, fresh acidity, vivid silky tannins, some nougat, mineral, long lasting and full of finesse. It has now slightly passed its drinking peak after 25 years, but is still a model La Tâche. (drink/store +20).
