- A deft touch of wood frames very ripe aromas of honeysuckle, spice, white flower, peach, pear, and anise that introduce potent and full-bodied flavours oozing with dry extract that buffers the firm acid spine on the hugely long finish. This is a flat-out big wine by any standard, but it's particularly massive by the standards of the 2004 vintage, which generally produced leaner and more elegant wines. However, here, the dry extract levels are such that the finish is almost chewy, yet this is as refined and pure as any recent vintage, except for the 96. This will require at least a decade to be at its best, and not surprisingly, it would be advisable to give it this time as the overall impression is closed, reticent, and youthfully austere. I like the '04 version, but for those used to greater flamboyancy than 2003, it would perhaps be better to choose another vintage as this will likely remain a discreet wine by the standards of Domaine's Montrachet.
