Color is a pure, translucent ruby. Nose is all bright red cherries with a hint of earthy forest floor. Just enough fruit to balance the considerable tannin and acidity. I am thinking this will be much tastier in a few years but with some air it drinks well now. Typical well made bourgogne rouge.

(Giroud Camille Bourgogne Rouge) I still have a few of the 2003 left and it's easy to under-estimate how good these wines can be. A friend's 'house red' in recent months was the 2003 Bourgogne from Chanson - worthy, tasty, sweet and simple; we followed one with the Giroud 03 and there was an incredible extra dimension of fruit in the mid-palate and finish - as good as many village wines, but what about the 04 version? A wide and fresh powdery fruit nose. The wine is fresh, with some sweetness but walks a tightrope with the acidity that is just a little prickly. The fruit is nice and so are the aromatics, better than the 2003, but I prefer the texture of the 2003.
