Weak. No complexity, not interesting, provides the experience of drinking Merlot flavored water. Gift it to your neighbors who don’t drink wine regularly. Reviews with higher points suggest mellow drinkability, I agree.

This wine has a wonderful noise with full fruit. It’s finish is balanced for over a minute, which earns it 94 points. However, it’s uninspiring. So, if you are a Patrick Bateman type, obsessing over shades of white business cards, you’ll love this. If you prefer a wild spirit, on the other hand, you can skip this vintage.

Tannins are gone. Heavy fruit, medium acid, the wine smells like boysenberry..2003 is past it’s prime, drink it it now.
