Winey’s number

Is Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche worth it?

What is it worth?

$15,000 to me

What should I pay?

  • $12,750? Buy it. I’d have paid $15,000.
  • $15,000? That’s about right. I had it at $15,000.
  • $18,750? Walk. It’s a $15,000 wine wearing an $18,750 tag.

What does it taste like?

Pour fast to friends who’ll know what they’re tasting: forest floor, mushroom, dried rose, a wine letting go gracefully. Drink it well.
