The 2003 is a dense, corpulent effort with a dark ruby/purple color, impressive intensity, and aromas of charcoal, white flowers, blueberries, black currants, and smoke. Medium-bodied, with light tannin, and serious concentration as well as length, it may merit an even higher score than shown. Anticipated maturity: now-2018.

Some aromas of cooked fruit and earth. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a medium finish. Slightly hot but a velvety and good wine. Best after 2006. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 5,250 cases made. ?JS
