The best 2004 Bordeaux represent real value and are so enjoyable to drink now! Happy to Offer |
| | | 2004 Chateau La Vieille Cure $396 case ($33 bottle)
94 Points JS!
90 Points Robert Parker "As was the 2003, this is another big time sleeper of the vintage. The dense ruby/purple-tinged 2004 offers a sweet perfume of framboise, black cherry liqueur, cedar, and spice. Supple-textured, medium to full-bodied, expansive, and savory with superb purity and texture, it can be drunk now and over the next 10-12 years. This property has been on a qualitative roll and still remains one of Bordeaux’s finest values."

| | 2004 Chateau Giscours Margaux $1140 case ($95 bottle)
91 Points Wine Advocate "A big, smoky, tapenade, plum, black currant, and spring flower-scented nose is followed by a medium to full-bodied, textured, layered wine with sweet tannin, low acidity, and impressive concentration as well as depth. This is a gorgeous, hedonistic yet complex Margaux to drink now and over the next 12-14 years."—Robert Parker |
| | 2004 Chateau Rauzan Segla Margaux $1440 case ($120 bottle)
91 Points Wine Advocate "In my barrel assessment I hinted that this Rauzan-Segla might merit an additional point in bottle and so it came to pass! It has very good intensity on the nose with thick layers of raspberry, wild strawberry and a touch of orange peel and graphite. The palate is full-bodied, adding weight all the time in the glass, quite plump with good solid structure. It is blessed with a lovely cedar-tinged finish with a length that can only leave you smiling. Drink 2012-2025."—Robert Parker |
| | 2004 Chateau Palmer Margaux $3588 case ($299 bottle)
95 Points Wine Advocate "This stunning wine is one of the vintage’s great successes. Administrator Thomas Duroux has fashioned a modern day version of Palmer’s brilliant 1966. Displaying a rare combination of power and elegance, this dense purple-colored offering exhibits notes of blackberries, truffles, flowers, incense, and camphor. Long, classic, and medium to full-bodied with stunning texture and richness, this superb effort is a candidate for the finest Margaux of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2025+."—Robert Parker |
| | 2004 Chateau LaGrange Saint Julien $1080 case ($90 bottle)
91 Points Wine Advocate "The 2004 is developing a lovely ripe nose of wild strawberry, black cherry, redcurrant and a touch of vanilla. The palate is medium-bodied, very well balanced with good delineation. It has some lovely ripe Cabernet, but maintaining that classic line of Saint Julien. Very harmonious with a delectable tobacco finish."—Neal Martin |
| | | 2004 Chateau Gruaud LaRose Saint Julien $1140 case ($95 bottle) $205 magnum $635 double magnum
91 Points Wine Advocate "Ruby-red. Expressive nose offers game, spice, tobacco, leather, underbrush, iron and exotic flowers. Supple and fine-grained, with currant and baked plum flavors complicated by chocolate and leather. A wine of moderate intensity and power for this property but rather suave."—Stephen Tanzer |
| | 2004 Chateau Leoville Barton Saint Julien $1620 case ($135 bottle)
92+ Robert Parker "This is an impressively endowed vin de garde that should age effortlessly for 20-30 years. How Anthony Barton continues to fashion uncompromisingly primordial Bordeaux that are always among the biggest and densest of all the St.-Juliens is beyond me, but he does it year in and year out. Moreover, when it’s time to set the price, he appears to have the consumer foremost in his mind. The 2004 is a classic Leoville-Barton meant for long aging. Concentrated, with loads of smoke, creme de cassis, forest floor, and earthy notes emerge from this impressive, but oh, so backward wine. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030+." |
