                                | 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.
