Beautiful aromas of ripe blackberry and raspberry aromas follow through to a full-bodied palate, with silky tannins and a long, long finish. Layered and delicious. Gorgeous. Best after 2010... Wine Spectator

The 03 Is perfumed flowers, black plum, blueberries, boysenberries, smokey, light spices, hint of leather, pencil savings and flat out elegance. She's a beauty! Drink now and over the next 5-8 years.

Big in the nose, more detail on the palate. Impressive for a hot, challenging vintage.

One of my favorite vintages for current drinking while the 89, 90 & 05 still need more time. This was sexy & opulent with blackberry, cassis, raspberry with expresso, chocolate, spice cake, lavender & licorice. Silky & elegant.
