2004 Château Lynch-Bages 90 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac
Excellent wine. Terrific fruit/acid/tannis balance. No, it doesn't live up to prior vintages but it's still very enjoyable.

2004 Château Pontet-Canet 92 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac
Attack is fruity, spicy and woody. It then eases up for a long gentle finish. Very enjoyable and worthy of the the cellar.

2004 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron 92 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac
Very enjoyable even at this age. It's gentle and seductive, rich and unfolding. The finish asks for another sip.

Light nose that's slightly sweet. It's surprisingly quite fruity and the finish is quick.

2004 Château Kirwan
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux
Full frontal assault that's rich and spicy. A very rugged wine. Not particularly my style.

2004 Château Lascombes 89 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux
Feint nose. Palate is smooth given the young age. It falls apart a little in the finish (minor flaw). Good QPR and definitely drinkable now with a little air time.

Tastes like a burgundy. This is a little sweet and not much structure holding it up.

2004 Château Haut-Bailly 90 Points
France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan
Great tannin composition with a fascinating velvety soft mouthfeel. Almost drinkable now. I wonder how this will mature. Worthy of a few bottles to learn.

2004 Château La Tour Blanche Sauternes 92 Points
France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Sauternes
Rich, tropical fruit. Delicious. A little more acid/alcohol to balance out the sweetness would help.

France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Sauternes
Lemon and vanilla in the nose + tangerine in the palate. Great fruit/acid balance.
