I was literally blown away by the '03 Greysac. One of the best values to come out of Bordeaux in a very long time. 2004 was not a great growing year, but it wasn't poor either (just not as grand as 03 & 05). The 04 seems to have a touch more than one would want of Brettanomyces; leaving the nose meaty, mushroomy and lacking of fruit. The finish is off, the wine very tight up front and falling apart on the tail end (I suspect due to the Brett). We tasted through two of the '04, seems to be an overall flaw. Nevertheless, I'm biased in my love of the '03 Greysac. This wine is not completely flawed and if one is looking for an example of a left bank bordeaux, that's affordable in price with some unique Medoc qualities--it can be found here.
