  This bottle showed the best of the three. Could be because LSG, even in a off-vintage, needs plenty of time to reveal itself. Or, could be because I decanted this one right before serving it, and it did bring out the best in the aromatics - they really popped about 20 minutes after decanting. Spices, bright red and black fruit, a savory soil and mineral sense, just a complete and very attractive nose. On the palate it showed that spherical and seamless-ness that I love - a harmonious and balanced wine. There were 30-45 minutes of great, and then the wine began to tail off so, you know, plan accordingly.

  Opened and poured a taste, left in bottle for a half hour and decanted off the sediment as dinner was put on the table. This is a very good wine, perhaps not a great Les Saint Georges, but an absolutely lovely wine. The nose, especially after a half hour in the decanter, is wonderfully harmonious and spherical - something I remember from other vintages of this wine. It’s possible to pick out aromas of bright red currant-like fruit and also darker fruit, like plum. Also savory things like soil, menthol, and under-wood. But the overall sensation is one of balance and harmony. This follows through on the palate too, which shows vibrant acidity and is very lively, and also an unmistakable grace and delicacy. It’s just a delicious wine, and a classic example of how red burgundy can be so beguiling in its power without weight, in its grace and harmony and focus. I got none whatsoever of the 2004 green taint here, I’m happy to say.

  An odd wine with slight effervescence and funk on top of an otherwise elegant structure with dark fruit and resolved tannins. Not offering a rating, but not certain it was flawed. Starting to brown on the rim.

  Evidence of very slight leak. Mature and open with a bright acid edge, good depth and concentration. Put on some weight after a couple hours. No real evidence of underripe fruit. This turned brown after a day, but still retained most of its character. Possibly not a representative bottle, but seems like it is closer to the end than the beginning of its drinking window.

  This wine seesawed between showing signs of 2004 character initially being marked by notes of green meanies and even pyrazines (ladybird taint). After 30 minutes these largely blew off leaving a very complex mature wine with strong pain d’epices but still some fruit. I have had a lot of bottle variation and the bad bottles are very bad, but this one turned the corner and was excellent.
