2003. Last bottle was 3 years ago, and this one I liked better. Starts out austere with evidence of a difficult hot year. But after hours in the decanter it cycled thru some almost port like caramelized tapenades and ended the evening with a somewhat strange but delicious red crème brûlée thing. So if you have one… I suggest patience thru the awkward opening hours to get to the awkward good part. Cheers.

Revisiting after a year or so. The hot year comes thru with olives, spice, and earth. Rough, but balances out a bit the next night.

One can taste the warmth of the 2003 vintage - ripe, sweet spiced plums, round mouthfeel and heady finish. Ready to drink.

It's true! 03's may have got a bad wrap. This is fairly typical of the region. Maybe lacking acid, but the tannins have mellowed and it's a nice, dark, dusty wine,

A little lighter than expected... Which was alright by me. But a little shorter than expected. 2003. Christmas 2014.

Sadly... This was cooked. Not sure what happened, but must have been exposed to heat at some point. Down the drain. I'm thankful for other choices!
