Alex Shaw, JJ Buckley, April 2012

Deep purple core with a ruby rim. Aromas of blackberry, espresso, dark chocolate, and wild herbs scent the big, expressive nose. Supple on the palate, with tannins that are well-integrated at this stage, yet this retains enough structure to keep it going for another ten years or more. Notes of plum and black cherry dance across the mid-palate, while the tannins drive the dry, precise finish. A bit more fruit-forward than some vintages, this still retains Cinq Cepage's classic Bordeaux style.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2007

The 2004 Cinq Cepages displays an elegant, Bordeaux-like style offering aromas of cedar, tobacco leaf, black currants, cherries, and spice box. Medium to full-bodied with soft, silky tannins, and a moderately long finish, it should drink well for 7-8 years.

Underneath the smoke of this wine's meaty black tannin there's a high-toned red fruit character, hinting at earthy roots and eucalyptus. A lamb chop will absorb some of the tannin and bring out the wine's elegance.

Fans of CC will find a wine with the balance of previous vintages. It refuses to be a fruit bomb, but offers a wealth of sumptuous blackberry and cherry liqueur flavors that pull back at the last moment under a blanket of youthful tannins. Not a long-term ager, but should hold for 6 years, and is easy to find, with more than 13,000 cases produced. S.H.
