Winemakers Notes: A powerful and intense vintage which develops charming aromas of black fruits and garrigue under a dark colour. The whole is enveloped by a taste of wood still present. A beautiful material supported by an impressive tannic structure which will require to fade during the two or three coming years.

One thing many wine drinkers do not do is really look at a young wines ability to transform over the course of a few days. The 2004 Mas de Boislauzon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée du Quet was not a good wine on day one or two but really opened up for business on day three and four. Had I drank the bottle on the in first couple of days I would have not been a buyer of the wine, but seeing the potential I will buy a few more and cellar for five plus years.
