Coteaux d'Aix en Provence 2004 Trevallon

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (94)

A gorgeous wine that's still youthful and vibrant, the 2004 Bouches du Rhone is an even split of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 2 years in a combination of foudre and barrel. Seamless, elegant and layered, with fabulous cassis, lead pencil shavings, tobacco leaf and spice, this full-bodied beauty is perfectly balanced, with no hard edges, fine tannin and terrific length. Drink nicely now, it has the concentration and balance to continue to evolve gracefully for at least another decade.

Slightly reduced. But lots of blood and nails (iron) on the palate. Broad. Slightly tough but good!
