Very soon after drinking the 2006 vintage of this wine (see earlier post), I had the opportunity to taste the 2004 at a Chinese lunch. With a cepage of 57% cabernet sauvignon, 38% merlot, 3% petit verdot, 2% cabernet franc, this was a softer wine with a fruity taste of cherries. At ten years, the tannins have fully mellowed, giving the wine a very smooth texture. It went perfectly with the xiao long paos you can see in the picture.
