jamessuckling.com, 95 points: A very fine-textured Champagne with lovely density and finesse. The bubbles roll off the palate. Full body. Extremely creamy and flavorful. Shows wonderful finesse and a lovely, chalky, lemon-curd and brioche aftertaste...
Wine Spectator, 95 points: A seamless Champagne, showing a texture of raw silk, this weaves vibrant acidity with an expressive range of glazed apple and poached white cherry fruit flavors, with pickled ginger and saffron spice details and rich...
Vinous, 93 points: (based on roughly 60% cabernet sauvignon) Good full ruby-red. Crunchy cassis bitter chocolate violet black olive and a note of leather on the nose. Quite juicy if a bit firm-edged with musky black cherry blackberry violet...
Wine Enthusiast, 98 points: The wine's name stands for recently disgorged and this vintage Champagne was taken off its in 2018. That gave many years for it to develop its depth of flavor, richness and beautifully memorable toasty flavors. Drink...
Vinous, 94 points: Gosset's 2004 Extra Brut Celebris is a powerful, bracing wine. Pinot Noir-infused red stone fruits, dried leaves, mint, herbs and spice notes, along with the low dosage, give the wine its distinctive combination of power...
Vinous, 97 points: Another stellar wine, the 2004 Dom Pérignon is just starting to show the first signs of aromatic development, as well as a bit of added weight it did not have as a young wine. The 2004 remains a bright, mid-weight DP...
Wine Enthusiast, 92 points: Epitomizes the lush, immediately approachable style, with a mouthfeel so creamy it almost seems liquorous or syrupy. The flavors are ultraclean and precise, marrying crème de cassis with vanilla and hints of coconut. Soft...
Wine & Spirits, 96 points: Tasted from barrel in 2005 this wine showed the freshness of the vintage in its bright woodland-berry scent before settling into tannins that felt mineral powerful and black. Directeur général Paul Pontallier commented at...
Wine Spectator, 93 points: Shows beautiful aromas of crushed berries and currant, with hints of mineral. Full-bodied, with lovely currant, licorice and mint. Long and caressing. Very refined and balanced. Another winner from Pontet-Canet. Best...
Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: For a 2004, this is big and rich, but that is to be expected from Guiraud. The fruit is magnificently ripe, with flavors of peach and tangerine syrup along with the core of botrytis and dark honey. The aftertaste is...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 99 points: The flagship 2004 Run Rig is 96.5% Shiraz and 3.5% Viognier with the Shiraz component aged for 30 months in a mixture of new and used French oak. Yields were a minuscule 14 hl/ha (about 1 ton per acre). Saturated opaque...
Burghound, 91 points: A surprisingly airy and like the La Justice, very pinot nose that is both elegant and transparent dissolves into supple, detailed and quite finely balanced middle weight flavors that are both delicious yet serious and...
Wine Spectator, 95 points: This shows lots of mulled spice, warm tobacco leaf and well-roasted cedar accents, but isn't short on fruit, offering enticing layers of red currant, plum and blackberry confiture. The long finish is riddled with sweet...
