Great 2004 Saint Emilion. Surprise by how soft the tannins were with great tobacco notes. Fruity yet not overly ripe or jammy, very approachable, probably still have a good 10 years ahead of live, but perfect for enjoyment now. No need to decant.

Smooth and fine tannins; quite fruit-forward, made me think new world merlot

Finesse over strength. Drinking very nice. Probably at peak.

Ok, who brought a #Bordeaux to a #Burgundy tasting? Hey, this 2004 is much better than the vintage suggests. Close to peak with plenty of body and fruit.

Probably started too early. All of the notes suggest 1.5 to 2.0 hr decant. Happy New Year.
