Confirming that this is a very good wine in the context of this vintage. Still youthful, lots of ripe cassis fruit. Low acidity but enough lift to give it lift and focus and the tannins are well in check. Now or over the next couple of decades.

Tasting profile is as per previous note from a year ago. Once again the finish is the barrier to a higher rating, being clipped and with very faint bitter notes. I am starting to suspect that this should be consumed over the next 5 years to enjoy it at its best.

Delicious and drinking wonderfully. Always a treat to enjoy well aged claret.

Cassis and black berries, green bell pepper, cigar leafs, lots of blood / iron; on the palate gravel, earth, "dusty" texture, slightly drying, clearly old school bordeaux. Again lovely and a really successful 2003; no heat, nothing overdone, proper claret. 17.5/20
