($70, Grapes of Spain): Paixar’s hallmark of elegance combined with intensity is readily apparent in the 2004 vintage.  Slightly fresher than the 2003, its minerality and succulence is sustained throughout an incredible finish.  Polished fine tannins lend structure without being intrusive.  Despite spending 16 months in new French oak barrels, this is not an ‘oaky’ wine.  Beautifully integrated, the multitude of flavors slide together effortlessly and last seemingly forever. 96 Michael Apstein Aug 28, 2007
