  Far lighter than expected and probably too young. Grew over time in the glass but still lacking the complexity I expected.

  Novovino's spring portfolio: nose: not as powerful or rustic as clos vougeot can be with tones of chalk, earth, dark red cherries, brown spices and a bit of green tones poke their head out. Good class on the nose as one would expect from a grand cru, but a bit of the 04 green shows itself unfortunetly
  
  taste: good polished feel with high acidity. Well balanced tones of chalk, earth, brown spices, dark red fruits, a bit of raspberry and some slight hints of greenish notes. The green doesn't really hit as much on the palate as it did on the nose
  
  overall: a good classy clos vougeot. Hopefully the green tones pull back a bit and more of the classic Clos Vougeot tones fully emerge. Needs some time sideways to let the acidity calm down, this should be an attractive wine when it does emerge, but it will never set off fireworks

  Uncorked DK: Burgundy 2004 tasting: Was brought in as a replacement for the corked wine. This was a difficult wine that seemed to split the group in two. I for my part believed that even though it possessed elegance and a certain complex sweetness, it was also too sharp, closed and a bit green. Initially therefore I rated it 90. The other group found it to be wonderfully light, tightly knit and with great complexity. I have to say that the last smell and sip that I took actually made me believe that they could be right and I therefore adjusted my rating to 92+. This is a difficult wine.
