A fine effort for the vintage. I actually didn't think it was an 04' in our blind, as the greeness of the vintage only revealed itself when the bottle was nearly empty. Quite fragrant. Dark red fruits, Vosne spice, violet, rose, pine, and a slight vegetal edge with more air. The palate's quite dark and soft, backed by a savoury touch and mineralic drive. Silky texture and long finish. Powerful, yet elegant. Really enjoyed this wine. Not hitting in extreme heights, but balanced and a wine I would be delighted to drink again.
NB: 04 red burgs have been quite surprising lately. The vintage seems to be turning out quite alright.

Earth and fungi with a sharp acidic backbone. Potentially fading, but quite delicious.

Beautiful showing and kept opening up in the glass. A touch lighter than the Richebourg and (strangely) the Clos Vougeot of the same vintage, but what a plot. Sign me up every time.
