Lot #134. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche 1937

Description: Consists of 3 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: "(1937 is a very concentrated vintage, certainly more so than any of the other vintages of the 1930s, including '34. At the Domaine, I view our '37s as some of the finest we have ever made because even though there is great richness, it is complemented by excellent spice and a seductive delicatesse. Meadows: 1937 produced some incredible wines and remarkably enough 65 years later, wines that are still youthful and quite tannic. They were closed for decades though seemed to begin opening up in the 1980s, a remarkable 50 years later. As a vintage, '34 is better regarded but at the Domaine itself, it appears that '37 gets the nod with '37 being more backward, concentrated and tannic whereas '34 created more elegant, purer yet lighter wines).
Notes: Two 4cm, one 5cm, two worn and lightly wrinkled capsules, one lightly torn, one corroded capsule, two cut to reveal vineyard and vintage branded corks, scuffed, bin soiled and very lightly torn labels.
