I am so happy I managed to pick up some of the 400 bottles (ex chateau) that suddenly arrived in the wine shops here early this year. A rarity to get fully (and well) matured wines off the shelf. That said 2004 vintage is known as needing longer time to mature. Now this wine seems at its peak. Obviously not a GC, but as a 1er cru this was really a wonderful wine and markedly better than the bottle I had in March. PNP and followed (from bottle) for approx 2,5 hrs. From about halfway it really shone. Evolved and complex notes of mature lemon, apples, nuts and distinct (but perfectly complementary) oak. Good acidity and concentration. Loved it.

PnP. Strågul farge. Nesen oppviser en liten smørfedme, krittmineraler og moden sitron. I munnen er det også sitrus og mineraler som dominerer, crisp og leken syre. Noe fedme også i form av smør, men det er så balansert og godt. Munner ut i en herlig finish hvor krittmineralene kommer igjen for fullt. Drikk nå.

In its best spot at the moment. Mature fruit, some minerals and nicely integrated wood. Great backbone too. Think this will keep up for at least a couple of more years.
