  Very solid cork. Tightly sealed. Some bricking as expected. Crunchy red fruits. Plenty of persistent fruit balanced by the acidity and tannic structure. Consumed over several hours after opening. This may improve for a few years as the tannins resolve. I think there is enough fruit here to support another few years of development. It is nevertheless very enjoyable now.

  Dark crimson ruby. Lots of iron, sour cranberry, cherry, ash, tree bark and faint potpourri in the background. Light-medium bodied palate confirms the very tart light red berries, hummus and iron, high acidity and an astringent and drying finish. Meh.

  Cranberry and cherry. On the lighter side. No green/veggie flavors.

  Brick red in color. High toned aromas of red small berries, florals, spice, peppercorn and tree bark. A medium bodied and spicy palate follows through with crushed sweet-sour red cherries, hint of savory mushrooms, medium acidity and a slightly astringent & woodsy finish. This was not bad for 2004. No green meanies here!

  Burgundy Tasting (Bistro Cocotte, Haberfield): Ashy and stalky; herbaceous...classic 2004...over blackberry. In the mouth it's juicy with blackberry, that stalky note, chalky tannins are very drying. Alcohol warmth. Meh.
