Dark-coloured, the aromatically tight 1997 La Tache reveals Asian spices, pepper, cherries and black currants. This is a velvety-textured, expasive, and massively ripe wine boasting flavours (particularly for this sometimes "simple" vintage), medium to full body, and admirable length to its supple finish. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2012. 93+pts
