Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, October 27, 2015 - Popn poured followed over 5 hours. 1/2 bottle corked and tried next day with little variation
Striking youthful red/purple color with no meniscus. Youthful aromatics with fresh red and blue fruit. Palate was also fresh exuberant fruit even a bit of glycerine. Slight cola. Mild secondary flavors. Finished medium length with some heat. Correct for the hot 2003 vintage. Definitely not porty or gloppy, just exuberant. Blinded, I would have guessed California..RRV.
Good for a tough vintage and the fruit has held up. I would hold for another 5 years to see how this 12 year old matures?

Of course that’s a generalization and can be used successfully in the correct vintage. However, there is no way i would have guessed that this 03 Prive would have shown as you described though!
cheers!
