The last bottle of 1996 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti La Tache was, unfortunately, completely underwhelming. The nose was extraordinary with notes of cranberries, rhubarb, raspberries with clove and earth... left me nearly speechless... unfortunately, the palate left me equally speechless for all the wrong reasons... the wine had notes of volatile acidity, had no mid-palate and was all clove and very dried fruit... not spectacular. All in all, 7/10...
