Benjamin Romeo Contador - 2004 (750ml) Riesling ushered along by assertive oak100 points Robert Parker The 2004 Contador is even better than the 2003 if that is possible. More expressive aromatically (a characteristic of 2004) this wine is more tightly wound and backward than the 2003. Unlike the 2003 it demands a minimum of a decade of cellaring and could well last for 75 100 years if well stored. Collectors will have a blast tasting these two wines side by side. Jay S Miller
