Domaine Roquète Rouge 2004
WINE ADVOCATE – 23 FEV 2006 – N°163
The Brunier brothers want to upgrade the Château La Roquète. They institude a luxury cuvée from a specific vineyard called les Pialons next to Rayas. However, the REGULAR 2004 ROQUÈTE has plenty of expressive pepper, smoke herbs, and strawberry and black cherry fruit, good acidity, medium body, and a lush, heady finish with plenty of glycerin and fruit. It is clearly a wine to drink during its first 7-8 yers of life.

91 – 30$ : high-toned at first, with cherry and floral aromas, this quickly shows more density through, with layers of black currant and graphite along with taut, sinewy tannins that drive the finish. Drink now through 2017. 7500cs made
WINE ADVOCATE –22 FEV 2007 – ROBERT PARKER
89 – 35$ Brunier has been trying to raise the level of this estate and has certainly done so in 2004 abd 2005. The 2004 exhibits good sweet kirsh liqueur notes intermixed with some licorice, spring flowers, and earth. Medium-bodied and elegant with sweet tannin, it should drink well for a decade or more.
