1904

Bordeaux: Quite a large crop. The wines were rather good and immediately enjoyed an excellent reputation, after three previous poor vintages (1901, 1902 and 1903). Perhaps the reputation of this vintage was a little exaggerated, as it was for the same reasons, for the 1975. "Very fine, dry weather with only one day of rain during the harvest. Perfectly healthy grapes. "

Port: Declared by most of the major Port shippers, 1904 was an outstanding Vintage. Another classic Vintage Port, 1904s are well-balanced and delicate and have developed into an old tawny style while being able to keep their excellent reputation throughout.
