Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 1999 DRC Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche Grand Cru (OWC - 100VN, 99BH, 97JG, 97WS, 96DC) in original banded wood case cut by K&L for inspection. Vinous: "The 1999 La Tâche Grand Cru can be a perfect wine. This was very similar to the bottle opened in 2015. The bouquet sends you straight to heaven with so much purity and detail that frankly it is difficult to put into words. Fleeting glimpses of redcurrant, then pomegranate, broom and wilted rose petals, later more earthy scents, autumnal. The palate is perfectly balanced with filigree tannin, a symmetry that is utterly entrancing and precision second to none. Hints of black plum and blood orange, that mineralité returning towards a finish so tensile you risk cutting yourself. (NM)" (04/2018)

Included in this lot · 6 bottles

Provenance: Original Owner. Purchased on release from a reputable source and stored in the temperature controlled cellar of a Southern California collector. Hand delivered to K&L by a repeat consignor.

Words remain inadequate to describe just how good this wine is as the '99 is a classic La Tâche in every respect with its incredibly pure, marvelously intense Asian spice box nose. There is terrific size, weight and richness to the enveloping flavors of hoisin and pure pinot extract that deliver indescribable complexity on the hugely long finish. The big tannins are completely wrapped in velvet and while they are by no means invisible, they are beautifully well-integrated, indeed the word seamless comes to mind. This is almost certainly destined to become one of the all-time great vintages of La Tâche. Moreover, among the many bottles that I have been blessed to have tried, I have never had one that was anything less than sensational.
