Tasting notes
Tasted at the La Romanée vertical at Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair. The 2004 La Romanée Grand Cru bottled by Bouchard Père & Fils has a strange nose. It does not display the vegetal scents like the Liger-Belair bottling, but it feels muffled and rather fungal. The palate is medium-bodied with a grainy, slightly acetic opening. It gains a little harmony toward the finish with fine definition, but there is a dourness and austerity that it cannot quite shake off. I would not leave this for a long time in the cellar. It actually declines in the glass and feels rasping and hot. Tasted June 2015. eRobertParker.com.July, 2015
