Friday, December 6, 2019 - Drinks beautifully right now, still has a LOT of power. Would recommend an hour decanting at least. Lots of tertiary aromas such as cigar box as well as a dominating flavor of licorice. Perfect pairing with venison and chestnut purée. I had been told by a Bordeaux producer that the ‘03 were starting to decline because it was a warmer vintage but he was probably not talking about that sort of product. This will still hold for almost a decade.
