Served blind. On the nose, it sing of the Rhône, the taste leads in direction of Burgundy; this starts out with very pronounced acidity. Gains in the glass, more fruit present, more complexity and fullness, still remains a 2004 - after the detour to Burgundy, I managed to guess Côte-Rôtie and more or less the vintage as well. The lightnes gives this away to some extend. #PB

Very French balance. Fruit still present and felt younger than expected for the vintage. Should be aged a bit more. Nice gaminess, acidity and tannins balance, with a good concentration. Rather serious than fun side of the côte rôtie.

Dark red, a little murky. Dark red fruits with notes of undergrowth. Nice medium body with good acidity, tannins resolved but still providing good structure. Finishes medium long and complex. Drinking well now but should still last for a while.

Elegant wine, somewhat strict, very much in the mineral side; vertical and serious, good freshness here, good balance.

La Tablee: Celebratory Dinner (BYO) (26 Bridge Street, Brooklyn): Elegant and light. Darker fruits. Some gravel. Very fresh. I had amazing in my notes. A wine that I quite enjoyed. Suspect it has many more years to go.
