Vintage information 2004:

The better whites were lovely at release, wonderful citrus infused acidity that is now tight and sometimes spiky; regionals can be a little harsh.
The already uneven reds have a post bottling malaise; a rather green and sometimes unpleasant cedar/pine note all producers are affected if you are sensitive, these are great bargains for the insensitive! After 3 years they have not improved. Some whites also show the odour but seem better able to assimilate it than reds...

2004 Mischief and Mayhem, Gevrey-Chambertin Crazy LoveDec. 2009
Medium colour. The nose starts very tight, just a little warmth, slowly it develops a heavy floral scent – in-part it’s derived from a little of the vintage character, but on a low and ‘nice’ level. There is some fat, silky texture, high-toned fruit, balance and a very impressive length that shows some licorice. Initially I noticed the ‘character’ more in the flavours than the aromas, but the flavours seemed to clear completely. A lovely wine, and indeed a very serious wine…
