Community Tasting Note

  • Tenuta Stefan Likes this wine: 94 points

    April 11, 2015 - Perfect bottle!
    Mature colour, brick colour.
    Elegant bouquet offering wild raspberries, wild strawberries, roses, sulpher, oak, mineral and a bit of volatile acidity. With some time in the glass (+ 2 h) it evolves some curry powder, coffee and toast as well.
    This is a very soft, delicate and feminim Chambertin. But it still has a drive and energy that delivers a long nice finish with lovely flavours of red berries, roses and spices.
    Great balance, soft tannins, lovely flavours, nice mineral and good acidity. It all ends up in good balance.
    This wine is Rudolf Nurejev ... yet this wine is still alive with many years to go.
    Just wonderful!
