  served blind (although not to me). great nose. explosive, vibrant, red fruit... given what i knew about the vintage, i could not have been happier with this showing. none of the tasters identified it as 2004... most thought 02 or perhaps 07. i got none of the greenness that has come to identify the vintage... others did... but only when they saw the label!

  Nose: strawberry, rose, earth, mung beans, green pepper, dried red fruits
  Notes: Drank vertically with CSJ 04,06,08,13 and CdR 06,08,11. The distinctive greenness on the nose is quite a 2004 vintage characteristic but somehow this integrated nicely with all the other aromas. This is great to pop and pour, absolutely ready and pleasurable immediately upon opening. Perfect demonstration of a great Burgundy. Very expressive now and incredibly perfumed. I do not think this will improve at all in the future with time as this started to move downhill in 1.5 hours. It's time to drink up now and if one is looking for a fantastic bottle that is in its prime drinking window then one should not need to look further and this would be the perfect bottle. Readers do note that in recent years I have had various gorgeous 2004s and the worries everyone had from 10 years ago about the vintage has been blown off completely in my opinion, this vintage, from today's perspective, is ready to consume and drinking perfectly, the hints of greenness I feel can be neglectable in most cases.

  Not green, so juicy and so easy to drink. Evident spice and orange blue fruit. Liking this more than 04 Chambertin by some margin. 94

  Surprised my how good this was. Delicate floral aromatics with attractive sweetness. No sign of greenness.

  This was one of the best wines in a horizontal of Rousseau wines from 2004 including the Chambertin, Clos de Beze and Clos de La Roche. This was the lightest of the flight and probably the most open. Clear to slightly hazy. Medium bodied and medium tannins. A long finish. Layered and balanced. The question is will it get better?
