| Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate #171 (6/2007) Rating: 86 points Drink: 2007-2015
While better than usual, the herbaceous, richly fruity 2004 Croizet Bages is superficial and one dimensional. Satisfying in a low brow manner, it can be enjoyed over the next 7-8 years. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (1/1/2007) Score: 84
Appealing meaty black fruit on the nose. A bit hollow on the palate, but finishes clean. Better nose than palate. Not imported into the U.S. Best after 2007. 10,000 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Very dense colour, ripe, quite floral fruit, quite attractive and supple on the palate, a touch of greenness at the end, good, but lacks true vineyard concentration. Drink 2009-18. |
| Food Match: |
Western food: Beef, Lamb. Well cooked and strongly flavoured. Will also accompany a cheese platter quite well.
Chinese food: Roast duck/goose,grilled lamb, roasted suckling pigeon,Spicy shrimps and crabs,dried or smoked meats,braised fish.
