Whew - finally a 2004 Hudelot 1er Cru worth its while. Brick red in color. Whiff of floral potpourri, spices, leaves and twigs and bright red small berries on the nose. Light to medium bodied palate shows bitter-sweet morello cherries and red currants, savory brown spices, hint of hoisin sauce, good acidity and a woodsy, clipped finish.

Medium ruby with bricking. Good nose initially with heavy dose of sous-bois, asian spices, hint of violets and morello cherries. Palate shows more sweet and less tart red cherries, meaty nuances, brown spices and a clipped woodsy finish. 2004 no doubt but no green meanies.

Burg Dinner with Friends (The Bristol - Chicago IL): Clearly Burgundy, this came across as meaty, which made me think it from Gevrey-Chambertin. Mistake #1. Lean throughout, but no green notes to start, so I thought more like 2001. Mistake #2. Quite nice for the first 30 minutes in glass, but shorter and less fun thereafter.

Yes 2004. Goes well with food, pasta, veal or a game bird. No reason to wait.

Delicate, bright red fruit, little asian spice, sous-bois, lifted palate. Lean, not a lot of body, structure behind it. Had higher expectations.
