My first disappointment from Dujac. There is an acrid and bitter burnt rubber note that persists on the nose, obscuring any hint of fruit. Nothing to write home about on the palate either. Hope this is a bad bottle, otherwise I cannot recommend this at its current market price.

Some amazing Burgs à trois: Darker fruited that the Côtes de Beaune that preceded it. Feels very youthful for a 19 year old wine. The nose reveals a little House of Lords' leather, some liquorice and some demerara sugar, not sure if the vintage character coming through but this palate doesn't quite deliver on the promise of the nose. Good without taking my breath away.

I was nervous opening this wine but...the cork was perfect, the wine took an hour or so to really open up, and it tasted just fine. A fair amount of fruit left, color just a little tending towards brown, and a tiny bit of bitterness on the back end. But very nice with smoked brisket! No complaints.

Slow-ox 1 hr, tasted over 2 hrs -nearly semi-translucent dark red mild bricking -some vegetal '04 stems with an underlying earthy cherry -med acidity, med/med- weight faded cherry earth sousbois some '04 greenness, med dried out tannins -this wine I really enjoyed when it was younger, but this bottle is unfortunately past its prime and suffers from what is, in my opinion, the greatest fault with '04 red Burgs - dried out tannins
