Reviews for Mount Eden Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2004
93 points Robert Parker Jr's The Wine Advocate - December 2007
Issue #174
This 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits an opaque ruby/purple hue followed by pure, unevolved, black currant, raspberry, crushed rock, and spring flower-like notes. Very primary, it tastes more like a barrel sample than a finished wine, but it possesses enormous potential because of its combination of elegance, structure, and intensity. It should be forgotten for 7-8 years, and drunk over the following three decades.
90 points Wine Enthusiast Magazine - July 2008
Here’s one to put away for awhile. Even though the warm vintage coaxed out oodles of black currents, blackberry and cherry pie filling, red plum and dry, unsweetened chocolate flavors, the wine has a tannic intensity that makes it a bit astringent. But it’s balanced and well-structure, so cellar; and should be best 2009-2012.—S.H.
90 points Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar - November/December 2007
Intense cherry and blackcurrant on the nose, with vibrant minerality adding lift. Licorice and sweet chewing tobacco flavors complement chewy dark berries and kirsch, with slow-building tannins adding support without detracting from the fruit. Gained ripeness and depth with air while maintaining energy.
