2004 Bertagna Vougeot Clos de la Perrière

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

Tight nose, yet still some interesting high tones and an edge of oak. The palate seems to have just a little extra structure vs the previous wines. Very good length too. This is a very nice wine.

Bottled in September. A nose of purest fruit, linear yet still quite forward. This is also quite ripe, but has both a good texture and a very fine length – not flabby or warm finishing despite the ripeness. Very well made again.

2004 Ardhuy Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Peuillets

By on October 31, 2005 #asides

Bottled in September. The nose has sweet, forward primary fruit – plenty of floral aspects too. Concentrated, some fat coupled with sweet, very ripe fruit (~14%). Despite the high alcohol it’s not a bruiser of a wine, coming across as quite balanced. Modern, fruit-driven but excellently executed.

2004 Ardhuy Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes

Bottled in September. I was tempted not to include this as I’d like it all for myself! A reticent nose that needs quite some coaxing from the glass – it’s worth the effort though. This is one of those transparent and haunting noses that stay in the glass long after you drain it – very lovely. Real concentration on the palate, just a little fat, with flavours that are exquisitely precise. This is a really lovely wine – warmly recommended, provided there’s enough left for me.
