Touch of bricking. The pretty and very floral nose has gone completely secondary with discreet notes of sous-bois and earth lurking in the background. There is good density and verve to the now decidedly rich and generouslyl proportioned medium-bodied flavors that offer impressive depth and persistence. This has peaked and while it is in no danger of an imminent decline, I would still be looking for reasons to drink up over the next few years. A quality 2004. (Drink starting 2024)
A more deeply pitched nose of dark and blue berry fruits laced with earth and a lovely and distinct violet note that is followed by very rich, dense and serious flavors that finish with noticeable austerity. As it usually is, this is a powerful wine that possesses huge length and is sufficiently well structured that it will require the better part of a decade to really open up and reveal its full, and considerable, potential. The best of these '04s.
