Tasting Notes
The 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape (16,000 bottles) is a sexy, open-knit style of wine for the Armeniers, with a deep ruby/purple color and a big, sweet, expansive nose of blackberry and black currants with some cherry liqueur, dried herbs, smoke, and licorice. The wine is delicious to say the least, but also elegant, pure, and well-balanced. It should drink nicely for a decade or more. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 169 Feb 2007

From a vintage where they didn't finish the harvest until early in October, the 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape (80% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre, 7% Syrah and the balance Cinsault) is an elegant, fine, seamless and medium-bodied effort that has classic, mature notes of sweet red fruits, cedary spice and garrigue. It's one of those wines where the bottle will be empty before you know it. Oct 2016, www.robertparker.com
