2004 Philippe Leclerc Gevrey-Chambertin en Champs

Leclerc's 2004 Gevrey-Chambertin en Champs had the same smoky and bitter character as his 2004 Chambolle-Musigny Les Barbillaires (recently tasted). This en Champs was definitely closed, yet I'm concerned with not only the smoke and bitterness but also the somewhat astringent tannins and the burned rubber/tar that goes with the smokiness. Could 2004 be too small a vintage for Leclerc's unfiltered style -- at least for the smaller appellations...!?

The wine had a distinctive smoky bouquet and a rather long and bitter aftertaste. For comparison, I opened another bottle and this bottle displayed the same smoky bouquet and bitterness. I'll give my last bottle another five years but I'm concerned that it will be
flawed, too. If I were to rate this wine, I'd currently be in the avoid-section of the rating scale.
