Lots of sediment so decanted but utterly divine straight from the off.
Warm. Spice. Garrigue. Hillside. Resolved and regal.
I don't think that this is improving, it's best days are now and in the immediate future but it is an absolute belter of a wine.
There are remnants of dark, dark fruit, there is liquorice and tobacco, it is smoky and earthy and magnificent.

Mature, impression is of power rather than any particular fruit flavor, yet highly drinkable, good match with dry-aged strip steak and mushroom tagliatelle. Throwing significant sediment, left about a half of a glass in the bottom of the uncorked bottle when decanting, forgot about it until the next day, and it still tasted as lively and enjoyable as the day before.

Mature and slightly past peak. Tastes of black olives, plum and mushrooms. Paired with a D’Artagnan Cassoulet. 14.5%.

Rich & magnificent. Liquorice. Almost port-like without the sweetness. Incredible, elevated mid-section. So much character.
This is my 3rd bottle of the 2003 and I'm an unabashed fan. I think this is an utterly beguiling, magnificent wine.
