Winemaker's Notes:

 "Bernadotte's well-made 2004 exhibits a deep ruby/plum/purple color as well as elegant cranberry, black cherry, and currant notes, good acidity, and a spicy, fresh, invigorating finish. Not a big wine, it displays a style completely different from the 2003. Drink it during its first decade of life."
Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
My Notes:

About Château Bernadotte:

 Château Bernadotte sits on fine, gravelly soil that formerly had the right to the Pauillac appellation and formed part of a Cru Classé. The property was purchased in 1996 by Madame Lencquesaing, who also owns Pichon-Longueville-Comtesse-de-Lalande, and has experienced a rise in quality under her ownership.
