Still battling to appreciate these fine wines! Perhaps its the classic Bordeaux of earthy minerals on the nose (or damp cellar)!! that doesn't appeal to me with the first sip. However, after a little time, this wine opened up and was quite soft & delicious - berry/cherry fruit concentration on the nose, still powerful tannins, leaving the pallet a little dry. Acidity in perfect harmony. Think we'll be drinking the other 5 bottles quite soon.

So delicious... great aromas on the nose - rich and complex..Reminded me of a very soggy goats cheese!

This is extraordinary. We first drank this vintage in 2003, it was so green and just too young. To celebrate a 45th B'day we've opened another bottle
it has a lot of wow factor. Very elegant, lots of cocoa powder,chocolate and hint of plum aromas. smooth tanins, elegant structure and just wonderfully
delicious.
