The red wine La Tâche Grand Cru AOC Monopole, vintage 1998 from the winery Domaine de la Romanée-Conti has been rated in 2008 with 92 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Pinot Noir from the region Cote de Nuits in France.
Medium carmine garnet, ruby red reflections, broad ochre rim. Strong vegetal-balsamic nuances on the nose, intense herbal extract, some cough syrup, licorice, a hint of Madeira, reminiscent of the 73 Barolo Monfortino by Giacomo Conterno. Powerful and sweet on the palate, lively acid structure, firm, distinctive tannins that still appear somewhat brittle, lemony finish, seems somewhat encapsulated at this stage, patience is required, as this wine is certainly destined for a long life.
