I just popped the last of this wine I have and it could have stayed for another 3 or 4 years. There is a good balance of fruit and tannins and some very nice minerality to it. I am going to see if I can find some more. I think it will be very interesting in 4 years. Very good value.

This was given to me as a gift. I opened aerated and decanted it, tried at open and then drank over the next hour. Wish I had given it more time as it just got better. Big wine but very balanced right out of the bottle. The earth came out more as time went on and you could see that it will have good complexity when it has aged. Will have to get some more and keep for a few years, like 10!

2003 is still huge, full of fruit, not mush Terra or tannins.
