1972 Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache Monopole Grand Cru from this lot has the following scores - CellarTracker 93 points, BurgHound.com 91 points. This is the tasting note for 1972 Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache Monopole Grand Cru from Allen Meadows - An exuberant, gorgeously spicy and entirely classic La Tâche nose is trimmed in hints of caramel, rose petal and sous-bois nuances. The rich and well-detailed middle weight flavors offer considerable complexity along with a long finish where the supporting structure has largely resolved itself. The elevated acidity that plagues some bottles is well-integrated in the best example and the overall impression is a fully mature LT of considerable elegance and grace. Tasted many times over the years but with inconsistent results as some bottles display more evident acidity that causes the finish to thin out. Note that most of my scores have ranged from 90 to 92.
