Don't know about this one... At first, beautiful nose with smoked cherries and dried flowers. On palate however rather hollow - I was disappointed, especially for this usually amazing vineayrd. Didn't strike with balance or any hidden promises.

Powerful but without excessive weight, this strikes the difficult balance between delicate red fruit and the kind of structure you want in a wine at this price. This has what it takes to really be exciting in a few years but if you can't wait or want to check out your first bottle then give it an hour of air and put it on the dinner table. A good example of how 2004 will probably turn out to be a better vintage than reported, and if Bruno Clair can do this in 2004 then sign me up for the 2005 edition.
