A really good '03. Ha some camphor to the aroma along with highly perfumed black cherry fruit. It is a deep and luscious wine with some violet and floral spice. It is expansive and very persistent.

A bit of funk when first opened accompanied by very ripe red fruit. Then opened up into an alluring and elegant sweet strawberry nose and turned sweeter and sweeter as time went by. Hint of leather, chestnut, leading to a medium plus finish. Fully integrated and extremely enjoyable now.

Good Wine with an Exciting Super Bowl (Chez Kailin - Northbrook IL): Small glass, brief note. Very ripe, very 2003. Also very good concentration. Clearly also mature. Best when tasted shortly after opened, slightly less exciting an hour+ later. Best to enjoy sooner vs later.

Beautiful wine. Dark and rich fruit, subtle tannins and finish that went on forever.

Lovely wine, pretty Asian five spice with light delicate red fruits.
