  Browning off colour wise and advanced in its development. Loads of beef stock and mushroom with some greener root vegetable notes. A little bilgey and not really that pleasant a drink.

  Ruby robe with a very light and browning edge - kind of scary for a nine year old wine. Everything was completely out of whack upon opening - hot, alcoholic, overripe and really not that pleasant. Got its act together a bit with a good decant. The nose settled down to show ripe fruit, earth, wood and a hint of cola - certainly not what I would have liked but significantly better than it was out of the gates. Sappy fruit that shows some green elements on the palate (did not notice on the nose) - this kind of reminds me of an aged brewer Clifton Pinot that sat open in a hot place for way too long. Strange. Never would have pegged this for a dujac 1er. I know the vintage is a bad one but I think the winemaking was suspect. (82). BTW - I like the wines from BC a lot - just trying to point to style and the fact that this wine is tired and over the hill.

  I certainly liked this wine better than previous CT notes. This was included in a flight of 5 2004's. It was the best in the flight...the other 4 were grand crus, including a Rousseau CDLR. Very expressive on the nose. Some stem and floral notes, but no pyrazine taint. Very good fruit and balance. Silky mouthfeel, which extends on to the nice finish. Very good wine for the pedigree.

  Purchased as a bin end for a very good price indeed, but, frankly, it still wasn't worth the money. Medium ruby colour with pale ruby rim. Pronounced but slightly jarring aroma profile of red cherry and strawberry, with a hint of forest floor and a lot of oak. Pleasing, although also unremarkable and a little jarring, on the palate: weak but pretty red cherry fruit overpowered by intense acidity and fine, but rather dry and oaky, tannins; also notes of iron and vanilla. Medium finish that is uncomfortably hot - 13.5% alcohol here.This Dujac exemplifies why many wine drinkers dismiss red Burgundy as expensive and disappointing.

  Medium ruby/garnet core, pale garnet rim. Nose initially closed, opening as the wine warms to display raspberries and a touch of bilberry fruit, vanilla and hints of smoke and white pepper. On the palate this is medium bodied, with attractive pure red and darker berry fruit on the initial attack, quite generous and rounded on the mid-palate, attractive fresh acidity and then a good length finish, but one that certainly displays the herbal/white pepper vintage character and also a touch of firmness on the tail end.
