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...
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 & 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...
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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 99 points: The 2004 F.U. Shiraz (200 cases) is similarly brooding and liqueur-like. It spent 30 months in new French oak hogsheads and offers a compelling bouquet of toasty oak, pencil lead, mineral, blueberry, and blackberry...
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 Enthusiast, 93 points: A powerfully ripe wine, with pure black currant flavors over soft, polished tannins. The wood balance is exemplary, offering just the right lift. Touches of cinnamon and vanilla give an extra dimension.
Vinous, 90 points: Bright, deep cherry-red. Reduced nose dominated by dark fruits, smoke and gunflint, plus a whiff of matchstick. Then sweet and supple but reduced in the mouth, with wild, soil-driven flavors of dark cherry, smoke and...
