Thanks again @Web Bond for the great visit at Pol Roger! This is one of the broadest, most powerful 2004's that I have had the pleasure of tasting. The transparency and drive of the vintage is still in the wine and this Winston should last a long time! — 9 years ago
Unbelievably great! Cedar, vanilla, very heavy blackberry. Bold and lingers. — 9 years ago

Super full body. Like velvet on the tongue. Dark fruit, Australian dusty dry finish. Gotta get more. — 8 years ago
Complex, oaky, long finish. — 9 years ago
Just brilliant. All round smooth and easy. A little pepper but mostly rounded black current and plum with a hint of oaky dryness. — 9 years ago
Soft tannin. Complex and yummy. Tasting Shiraz and this was my favorite — 10 years ago

Sure did make an impression. Big, rich, textural, stunning acid drive. Pears, apples, limes, and layers of molten honey! Likely some bot even - hints of it on the palate. Utterly delicious.
Add notes: Domaine des Roches Neuves. Biodynamic focus. L'Insolite - 80+ year old Chenin vines, clayey-limestone, sandstone and flint subsoil. — 8 years ago
Time is going to help this. — 9 years ago
So much potential! The first out of my six that I bought prearrival, and opened to soon. Great dark fruit and drive to cut the ribeye that we enjoyed, but the best is yet to come foe this claret! — 10 years ago
This is nice — 11 years ago

Fresh, bright and vivid. A chalky, lime inflected front to the palate. Real vigor, salinity and drive. Excellent. Decades ahead — 7 years ago
