The Altaïr 2004 is made from 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah, 11% Carmenere and Cabernet Franc 1%.
The wine remained in 100% new French oak barrels between 15 and 18 months.
Tasting notes: Intense and deep color. The nose is concentrated with notes of cedar, black currant and ripe raspberry. In the mouth it has a great structure, complexity and fine tannins. Persistence.
What the critics say...
Robert Parker: 94 points(01/06/2007)
The 2004 Altair offers a much more saturated purple color and more complex perfume than the 2003. Scorched earth, graphite, black currant, and blackberry liqueur aromas make an appearance. The wine is more mouth-filling than its sibling as well as more structured. Ripe black fruits persist through the pure finish. Cellar this beauty for 6-8 years and drink it through 2030.
Pairing: Beef, Game Animals, Grilled Red Meats, Roasts, Stews.

If given the possibility that a harvest will not reach the level of quality that we have imposed, we will choose to lose in its entirety. The commitment to excellence is absolute.
