Opaque, blackish colour! Vibrant, energetic nose of creamy, vanilla black fruits! Dense, tight, youthful palate, tons of pure, spicy black fruits! Not fully mature yet in my book, but a very promising future!

The complex set of aromatics kicks off with smoky cherries, figs, chocolate, espresso, tobacco, licorice, mint chip ice cream, and plum liqueur. Avoiding the often-encountered jamminess of the vintage, the wine offers a sensual, rich, luscious palate experience centered around chocolate-coated cherries, and black plums with salty caramel. The wine is long, concentrated, and showy. No decanting or further aging is required, just pop, pour, and enjoy over a few hours. Drink from 2024-2033.

With Peking Duck @ Ju Qi, Flushing, Christmas (technically Dec 23) 2023.
Excellent. Drank over about 2 hours - would've probably benefited from several additional hours open, was continuing to evolve after 2 hours of air.

Lunch at restaurant. A really nice surprise. This 2003 carried the hot vintage well. Ripe but not oxidative, lovely notes of torrefaction.
