The articulate Pontallier called it “neo-classic” to suggest the sweetness of the tannins and a style that he finds similar to 1996. Only 40% of the crop was included in the final blend (78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot), and it has a very high index of polyphenols (tannins). The harvest was completed between October 1 - 19. The 2004 is a streamlined, graceful example of Chateau Margaux with a deep plum\/ruby\/purple color and attractive black currant fruit intermixed with notions of white flowers, oak, and cherries. Rigidly constructed, with a lovely, medium-bodied texture, and tremendous purity, it will undoubtedly close down and need some time in the bottle. This beauty should be at its finest between 2010-2025. By the way, the brilliant 2004 is the finest Pavillon Blanc (100% Sauvignon Blanc) since the 2001.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished: \u003c\/b\u003eApr 29, 2005\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"virtualcellardoor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52823997415717,"sku":null,"price":108000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0245\/9081\/1170\/files\/101115_png.avif?v=1784612466","url":"https:\/\/virtualcellardoor.myshopify.com\/products\/2004-chateau-margaux-chateau-margaux-premier-grand-cru-classe","provider":"virtualcellardoor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
