Paul Autard Chateauneuf du Pape 2004

Wine Spectator 90
"A good beam of black currant and raspberry, with tobacco, tar and graphite notes on the racy finish. Slightly firm and toasty now, but has solid concentration. Should open up nicely in the near term. Best from 2007 through 2016. 2,915 cases made. JM"

Stephen Tanzer 90
"Deep red. Intense raspberry and candied cherry on the nose. Smoky dark plum and kirsch flavors are impressively focused and concentrated, with a suggestion of game arriving on the back. The lingering finish features supple tannins and flavors of ripe dark berries and garrigue."
