  Brick red, leaning towards brown. Unfolds to mushroom consomme, forest decay, oak sawdust, and the echo of tart cherry. Medium acidity, tannins very soft and velvety. Palate is past its prime, but porcini and damp earth notes resonate long on the finish, allowing the underlying acidity to maintain the outline of primary fruit. Decent showing for a maligned vintage.

  This was terrific. Yes, a 2004. Yes, showing early on as a less than rich offering But now it was near perfect for a Combe D'Orveau. Not as tense, fruity or quite as high-toned perfumed as the Taupenot offerings in the 2009-2012 era, but just delicious and so elegant, feminine, refined and, yes, some core perfume notes that emerged after an hour. No need to decant: this wine shows a plum base with dark red fruit at the outset but then the Combe D'Orveau near-Msuigny elegance and sinewy dark red and purple tones Some sous bois and lots of Burgundian elegance Drink up soon.

  At Imperial Treasure Peking duck Paragon to welcome Peter back from his Aussie adventure. Bright red, very pleasing appearance. Wayne opened this as the first Chambolle of the evening. The nose on this wine was very vibrant, full of bright red fruit, lovely rose petals, some jasmine and lavender. The palate was pleasant, with decent structure, good balanced fruits but somehow lacked the complexity and finish. However, when this was revealed as a 2004, I was pleasantly surprised. I did not detect (although some others could) any hint of greenness from the vintage character on this wine. In fact, it was filled with rich, vibrant fruit. A terrific effort for a 2004!

  Perfect now! Drinking beautifully already upon opening. Nice red fruit and well integrated oak. Medium to light body.

  Not quite at the same level as I recall from shortly after release. Concentrated red cherry and raspberry with some new oak spice still quite prominent. Similar fruit flavors with a slightly underripe character, followed by lots of minerality and good acidity. Some sharp elbows.
