Community Tasting Note

Tenuta Stefan Likes this wine:

Saturday, June 19, 2010 - Perfect bottle. Top stand.
Bottle no: 04501
Aged colour. Look like a wine from -70s or -80s.
Wonderful perfume. Complex, deep with fabulous presence.

Extremely balanced, great complexity, elegant body.

Red berries, burnt underbrush, meat, "Leroy-acidity", mineral, mineral and mineral :-)
In the 3/4 the wine boosts some energy and performs a long wonderful finish, but not with the same dark energy like La Tache, but in a more sublime and elegant style.

It's like to stare down into the black water in a big deep water well. You don't have a clue about it's fully depth.
It's deep, dark, exciting and frightning.
The acidity and mineral lingers through the wine like an eel in the water well.

If I compare Romanée-Conti 2004 with the La Tache 2004, the La Tache have more dark energy, a more up front minerality and a green note.
Conti is more subtle and sublime, and I feel I have to drink more with my mind and brain than with my nose and palate.

Love this wine!! 97 - 98 points!
