2004 Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache Monopole Grand Cru from this lot has the following scores - Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 97 points, John Gilman's View from the Cellar 96 points, Jamie Goode 96 points, Wine Enthusiast 96 points, BurgHound.com 95 points, CellarTracker 95 points, Jeb Dunnuck 95 points. This is the tasting note for 2004 Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache Monopole Grand Cru from Allen Meadows - This too is sublime in its subtlety and grace with ineffably pure aromas and it strikes a balance between the opulence of the RSV and the restraint of the GE with an expressive yet ultra fine nose of rose petals, violets and seductive spice notes that introduce unbelievably refined flavors that seem crafted from silk and lace, culminating in a linear, mouth coating finish that detonates like a bomb and lasts and lasts. At present, this is taut and precise with the lithe muscularity of a world class gymnast yet it is not lean or unduly tight as there is a generosity to the mid-palate that serves to buffer the underlying tannic spine that will permit this to age for decades. This is clearly a great wine that epitomizes the concept of power without weight.
