Some VA but a real deep pure nose behind with some leather and floral notes with strawberry and dark fruits. Licorice complete the picture. Med body, high acidity, especially for 2003. Cocoa and chocolate completes what is a complex wine despite the VA and disjointed acidity. A pure, real, true wine.

(Domaine Léon Barral Faugères Jadis) Baked rhubarb, vanilla and boysenberry nose; too jammy and oaky, unbalanced, with medium oaky finish (possible problem case, since at least two bottles tasted off like this, and not the way the store owner remembered it from a prior tasting) 81 pts.
