Community Tasting Note

88 Points

Saturday, July 18, 2015 - My last bottle was 4yrs ago, and this is still showing rather closed and awkward unlike many '03s. Leather and funk on the shy nose. Dark fruit palate, very shy though the tannins are not and quite coarse in texture. Still very coiled up and somewhat unforgiving. Awkward and un-nuanced at this stage. Hold and hope for improvement.

On night 2 much more expressive. Smokey nose with plenty of ash anc charcoal on the palate. Fruits in the background, still of the black profile. Somewhat clipped finish. Still the most "un-'03" of any 2003 bdx I've had. Maybe needs more time?
