For some reason 2004 is a great vintage for Bourgogne rouge, much better than 05.

Seconded. My last, some two years ago, was fantastic.

I find it's a hit or miss category. Some are open, some are not, can't really find a unifying thread.originally posted by BJ:
I think it's too early for 05's, including weightier Bourgognes.

That bodes well for the eventual evolution of 04s
My last one was over a decade ago and was in my personal top ten for GMs
I it's difficult to discuss greenness in wines since perceptions differ so markedly. Ive found that I'm not particularly sensitive and have enjoyed most of the '04s that I've tasted, but others have found those wines offputtingly green. I also tolerate Brett better than most but don't know if they're connected.

Ditto on the '05 Lafarge. It's like the stuff is pissed off that I bought it.
We opened a batch of 2002 Lafarge Bourgogne around 10 years old, when they were just starting to open and becoming really beautiful - exceptionally so for a regional. '05 should take longer, ceteris paribus. I would counsel patience.
