Fair depth of colour, evolving slowly. A wealth of fruit at first hidden under that drier graphite touch which I often find in La Tâche. But clearly there is so much more beneath. A touch of mocha, chocolate and coffee notes competing, but above all a sublime vigorous red fruit, a few rose petals, an underlying structure which suggests very many years ahead. Much later on the drier aspects become totally submerged in a wealth of sensual fruit. Really a gorgeous wine from this not especially heralded vintage.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The La Tache 2011, picked on 5 and 6 September at 27.49hl/ha, has a wonderful bouquet that is quintessential La Tache: very complete and harmonious, beautifully delineated, succinct at first then with aeration, blossoming with brambly red berries, apple blossom, minerals and a touch of sous-bois. The palate is medium-bodied with immense purity and delicacy on the entry. This La Tache is extremely focused, velvety smooth in the mouth and although not as complex as the 2010, it has a beguiling femininity that will seduce at ten paces. It is extremely long in the mouth but politely does not outstay its welcome. Divine.
