The 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape is a nicely structured, deep plum/garnet-colored wine with plenty of Provencal herbs, sweet black cherries, and currants, some resiny notes, and broad flavors. It is a fine 2004 to drink over the next decade.
Readers should keep in mind that the young, talented proprietor Louis Barruol produces negociant wines under the label Saint-Cosme. and all the estate wines appear under the label Chateau Saint-Cosme. In theory, the only estate wines are the three cuvees of Gigondas.

"Dark red. Intensely spiced raspberry and cherry scents, with a strong mineral undertow. Sappy red fruit flavors display impressive concentration and focus. Finishes elegant and spicy, with excellent persistence." -Rated 91, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
