2004 Domaine Michel Lafarge Beaune Les Greves 1er Cru

Medium red. Slightly diffuse nose dominated by maraschino cherry. Fairly supple and sweet, but with a somewhat rustic leathery flavor. Can't quite match the premier cru for intensity or clarity but boasts good texture for the year and finishes firmly tannic and lively.
