  February 20, 2007 - Very much a 2003 Bordeaux, this wine is hot, dense, with a dark core. Good structure, good black cherry fruit, lots of mud and tar. I think the heat of the alcohol is a bit much, but otherwise a very nice wine. There is something nice and herbal going on in the higher tones as well, which is a welcome difference from some of the other 2003s. Good restrained sweetness in there too. Doesn't strike me as a long ager, more of a mid-term, due to a lack of biting, strong tannins. Could use a little time in bottle to come together. Very nice for the price in today's Bordeaux market.
