  After opening several prior bottles and being overwhelmed by excessive aromas and flavors of chlorophyll, I decided to aerate this bottle much longer. Vast improvement after five hours and further improvement overnight. With sufficient time, the unappealing chlorophyll transitioned to scents of violets, anise, iron, coffee, and black cherry liqueur. A vast improvement! On the palate, the taste of chlorophyll lessened but was still more noticeable than desired.

  Epic 04 Night-
  
  Rousseau Chambertin- Very pretty upfront. Beautifully pitched nose of sweet berry, underbrush, earth, very well layered. A touch of green but not off putting. Palate is more structured then the Leroy but not as big as the RSV. Drinking great now. Hints of green on the palate but overall great balance. The bottle had character.
  
  DRC RSV- Darkest and spiciest of the 4. No perceptible green on the nose or palate. The youngest tasting and most structured. Ever changing flavor profile of layered dark berries, spice, and floral. More regal than the Rousseau and delicious but not quite as open.
  
  Leroy Vosne- Explosive ethereal Leroy nose of sweet berry, spice, and earth. I've had the fortune to follow this since release and the nose is always so distinctive. Such heady perfume. Lightest wine in appearance and palate. This had some astringency on the end that stood out. I've found some bottle variation on these.
  
  Vogue Moose- Opened late in the tasting and probably suffered as a result. Greenest of the bottles. Good length, good flavor impact, but definitely overshadowed by the others.
  
  BDM CC- POXED

  Chocolate, coffee notes. Perhaps still a bit too young as it was tight for a few hours

  A lost Friday afternoon gathering – Champagne and Burgundy (Blacksalt, Washington DC): This is clearly affected by LBT. Sous bois is starting to emerge, also red fruit, licorice, chocolate and earth. Really rich yet fluid palate. The 04 taint is too pronounced.

  PnP. Nose with fruit and floral. Full of elegance. Palate is a bit thin, and simple, a bit green, and medium finishing. Lack of complication.
