A strong effort from proprietors Dany and Michel Rolland, the 2004 Bon Pasteur exhibits caramel and mocha-infused black cherry fruit intermixed with earth, spice box, and subtle herb notes. A lush, velvety texture, outstanding ripeness, fine purity, and a fruit-driven, round finish suggest it will drink well during its first 10-15 years of life.
90 Wine Spectator
Aromas of blackberry and chocolate follow through to a full-bodied palate, with soft tannins and a dark chocolate and fruit aftertaste. As outstanding as the 2003, but a more elegant style. Best after 2010. 2,000 cases made. ?JS
