Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - Really didn't know what to expect - my first 2004 burgundy.
From 375 ml.
nose: dust and earth takes center stage. Not funky or barnyardy at all, just a damp earth quality.
palate: balanced well between earth, fruit, acid and tannin. Charred earth and very faint spice notes over rhubarb/red fruit mash. I'd prefer this with food over sipping, but there is nothing not tasty about it. How's that for an unnecessary double negative?
