- Les Gartieux De Pichon Lalande Pauillac 2004 Product #26385 (In Stock)
-
-
Made only in larger cope years from younger vines at this "Super Second" Pauillac estate. The 2004 edition opens with classic Pauillac aromas of blackcurrant, tobacco and cedar that get stronger with air. Still young and powerful in the mouth, but mellows with air to show ripe, almost lush, fruit with accents of cigar, cedar and spice box. Rock solid and very good now and for another 5 or so years.
- Ch Mondot Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2004 Product #26632 (In Stock)

The second wine of top Saint Emilion's Troplong Mondo, this is still mainly Merlot but with more Cabernet Sauvignon and Cab Franc than the "big wine." Like so many of the better 2004s, this has developed beautifully and now delivers a lovely expression of velvety St. Emilion. Aromas of currant, plum, cedar and tobacco carry through on the silky palate where a note of dusty cocoa emerges. Lovely stuff with beef, lamb, or even all by itself.

Another brilliant wine from Silvia Puig, and drinking beautifully right now!
"Youthful purple color. Red- and blackcurrant on the nose, with suave incense, cocoa and floral qualities. Tightly wound on entry but gains flesh and sweetness in the middle palate, offering sweet red and dark berry flavors and silky texture. Nicely focused, low-fat wine with very good back-end lift and finishing minerality. The tannins are nicely hidden by the fresh fruit. Much more about finesse than power, and ready to drink."International Wine Cellar 92 points
- Dom Drouhin-Laroze Grand Cru Chambertin Clos De Beze 2004 Product #25632 (In Stock)

"Serious, dense, savoury wine. For thoughtful ascetics rather than hedonists. Real long-term stuff and so much the better. Pure, dense and deep – smooth textured but one for the long term. Drink 2010-2020" Jancis Robinson 18.5/20
"A spicy and notably ripe dark pinot fruit nose that offers black cherry and a touch of cassis that continues onto the tightly wound, earthy, rich and austere but amply powerful flavors that are impressively backward and dense, particularly for the vintage and this too is going to require the better part of a decade before it really gets rolling. I like the style and the definition, particularly on the superbly long and intense finish. Drink 2014+"Allen Meadows 90-93 points
- Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2004 Product #27243 (In Stock)

Always classic; tasty now and able to age with grace.
"Very elegant, this is all in the details, offering precise and silky texture, mouthwatering acidity and a smoky, mineral undertow that enriches flavors of patisserie pear, crystallized honey, kumquat and toasted almond. Offers a clean, citrus-tinged finish. Drink now through 2027."Wine Spectator 94 points
- Ch Latour Pauillac 2004 Product #26094 (In Stock)

Just entering the drinking window now and ready to last another 20 years.
"A terrific effort from Administrator Frederic Engerer and owner Francois Pinault, the dark ruby/purple-tinged 2004 Latour exhibits a strong cassis character intermixed with notes of crushed rocks, earth, cedar, and forest floor. Racy, elegant, but powerful with medium to full body, and sweet tannin, it will benefit from 5-7 years of cellaring, and should keep for three decades. It is a very impressive offering."Wine Advocate 95 points
"Captivating aromas of currant, black licorice and spices, with just a hint of sweet tobacco. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long, long finish. Structured and racy. Best after 2011."Wine Spectator 95 points
