Community Tasting Note
Tenuta Stefan Likes this wine:
Saturday, September 20, 2014 - Perfect bottle.
Still young colour, carmine red, clear.
Raisins, sultan raisins, spice box, roses, wild strawberries, old cubbard, oak and black cherries.
Great mouthfill. This wine start to get into the drinking window, but my dear friend mean this wine should saved 20 - 50 years from now. He might be right. This is a Grand Vin and La Grande Rue deserves its Grand Cru status.
Great dark fruit, lots of energy here, lovely but dry tannins, good acidity, elegant mineral with a dusty note, great balance, long finish.
I served this wine blind to my dear friend and he guessed Chambertin Clos de Bèze 1999 at first and later a 1999 Musigny. And I can really see why he ends up there. Lots of energy, lots of power, yet in a feminim and elegant way.
This wine reminds me of the lovely Eva Green.

But be careful with the vintages before 2003/2004. I tried 1996, 2002 and 2004 side by side a couple of years ago in Copenhagen and to my surprise 2004 was the best, without doubt.
Before the girls took over the quality was not on top.
I want to get my hands on 2010!
