2004 Côte-Rôtie, Bernard Burgaud

2004 Côte-Rôtie, Bernard Burgaud

Nearly opaque, but with a gentle sense of extraction evident on nose and palate, this fine côte-rôtie exhibits sweet ripe black fruit aromas; characters of blackberry, woodsmoke, violet and a meaty/savoury quality add complexity. There is no passing over the peppery accent to the fruit on the palate here. Pure, restrained and elegant with vibrant red fruit notes expressed to the finish, the 2004 is seductively styled; silky, fine and lingering. It would not be a cardinal sin to broach this in a couple of years though its harmony is such that it will keep for another six years beyond. A remarkably finely-judged, elegant and traditional example.
