Community Tasting Note

  • Tenuta Stefan Likes this wine: 98 points

    November 8, 2014 - Perfect bottle, top fill. From domaine.
    Still quite young in colour. Medium red velvet.
    Incredible bouquet! Red flowers, roses, violets, cloves, spice box, underbrush, curry powder. After an hour it shows cherries, meat and mushrooms. Very deep and complex nose.
    Just lovely taste! Still young and vital fruit, lots of energy and incredible depth. Complex and layered. Elegant mineral structure, almost salty, silky mature tannins that melts into the gum, nice acidity that reminds me of lingonberries. After an hour it gets more meaty. Long long finish.
    Served blind at dinner with good friends and wine lovers.
    My friend call DRC's Grands-Échézeaux for mini-La Tache and I must admit he got a good point here. This G-É performs at least as good as the La Tache, and better than the 1985 Richebourg.
    Almost a perfect score today, 98 - 99 points!
    To me this wine is Gabrielle Anwar.
