Tasting notes
The 2004 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has a lovely bouquet of red currant, cranberry and slight mulch/algae-like aromas. As it opens in the glass, the stem addition becomes a little evident and detracts from the terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly scrawny tannins, certainly missing the refinement of the 2002 by direct comparison. A touch of capsicum appears on the ferrous finish. Like so many 2004s, this seems a bit mean and green. Tasted at the Clos Saint-Denis vertical at Hide restaurant.

Medium red. Reduced nose hints at briary berries and pepper. Then almost surprisingly ripe, lush and sweet in the mouth, with a silky texture and excellent breadth for the year. But the Echezeaux is still a bit more open and appealing today.
Good bright red. Very spicy and peppery on the aromatic nose. Suave, spicy and aromatic in the mouth, with a ripe strawberry flavor and good breadth of texture. Finishes silky and long. Showing well today.
