Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 16, 2022 - one lonely bottle so far,
2004 normally is not one of my fav vintages, too smoothie like appearance very often,
this one is different, pnp,
the FIRST bottle from this not well rated vintage which is highly impressive,
strong cassis nose, mineral core, slightly graphite, violets, herbs,
very young showing on the palate, firm and deep black fruit, in its fruit prime phase still, but..... with a very good balance now, very long, with ripe tannin, demanding finish, seek out for!
Better after 3+ hours aeration, enjoy with a very decent decant, better hold for another 5+ years up to a decade+, ,
one of the best from 2004 so far and from Gruaud Larose, as this Chateau is among the very best Crus in an exceptional chateau vintage,
**(**-*****), 93, 94(+) potential
