2004 Louis Jadot Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru En Caradeux Clos de la Croix de Pierre
From half bottle (did I mention how much I love half bottles...you see I am going out for dinner tomorrow, and since I get up at 5 AM a full bottle is a bit much at dinner, so a half of something nice like this, at a good price, is valuable to me, but for some reason the halves come and go, so I never get to see what happens year after year with a nice little wine like this, that if it came in 375s every year (at least where I shop) I would buy it just for fun if nothing else, but you know how that goes...oops I was going to write a tasting note...) this is a touch closed down these days, but it's still a light, elegant, red-fruited Pinot Noir with little or no "green streak" to speak of. Maybe, just maybe it's starting to open up with air, but I think my remaining halves will sit a while, and I might even go get more since the shop where I bought it in 2006 still has some (oh that might explain why they never bought it again, but don't they realize that 2004 Burgundy does not sell, oh they must, but that's a run-on Faulknerian rant for another day).
