I was pleasantly surprised by the intensity and grip of the 2004 flagship wine here, as most of the cabernet fruit was picked during very hot weather in early September. But then the berries were very small. And a bit of petit verdot added "tannic structure and aromatic quality," said winemaker Francoise Peschon. It will be interesting to compare this wine to the superb '03 over the next 10 to 15 years. The brooding young 2005, from a later harvest, is no slouch either, but this vintage is going to require patience on the part of collectors.
