A heavier style Chambolle Musigny featuring dark cherry fruit, fresh herbs and earth. It is showing a little chocolate note. The tannins are refined and becoming almost sweet. A nice mature CM.

This was quite good. Dark in color. Big and concentrated on the palate. Nothing green here. Surprisingly muscular for a Chambolle wine. Drinking very young.

Consumed over the course of the evening. Still stemmy, but no "greenies". The stemminess dissipated over the course of the evening. A nice wine that would have been helped with a two hour decant. Tasted young enough to suggest that it has at least another 5 years left.

It's a 2004 so it has to suck. It has to be stuffed full of unripe stems and ladybugs and all kinds of other green matter.
Or not.
This is a tasty bottle of wine. Will it make people spit out their 1999 La Tache? Nah. But that's not the point. I detect no overt green flavors. Is this a really lacy and deeply interesting bottle of Burgundy? Again nah. But it's a really nice drink on a night when you don't want to wax poetic over wine descriptors.
Reasonably dark in color, good cherry/menthol aromas, the 'standard' cherry cough syrup descriptors (in a good way).
I was surprised. Maybe because the maker is considered more of an 'extractor' or 'concentrator', that he fit this vintage well? Was able to get more out of the juice and less green stemmy stuff in the way?

(Domaine Perrot-Minot Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes) Lovely, rich, warm strawberry and raspberry nose; very tart and tight yet, with minerals; medium spicy finish (Should age quite well.)
