Tasted at the La Tache vertical at The Square. I wanted to like the La Tache 1970 more than I could. Pale in color with a wide brick rim, the nose is rather muffled and mushroom-like with oxtail and wilted flowers. The palate is disappointing after what was a decent bouquet, a little hollow and disjointed although it possesses some depth on the rustic finish. It feels as if it is drying up. Opt for the vintages either side.
