Holy crap this was great. Thought it was my last bottle but have 11 more., I have to thank myself for putting this down 16 years ago. Graphite and cedar aroma (yes - a pencil). Nice thick body. Love it

Aromas of dark fruit, spice and some leather. A well polished wine as you would expect from Chapoutier, but not really what I'm digging these days. Doesn't have the acidity that I usually look for; the fact that I'm not digging CdP so much right now plus the 2003 vintage doesn't make for a great combo. Interestingly, we bought this directly from Chapoutier in Tain L'ermitage in 2005 and quite liked it. Oh how tastes change!

Delicious......dark fruits on the nose, layers of blackberries, sandalwood, leather, and soft spice on the palette. Nice finishing length. Ready to drink but could still hold a bit longer.

Perfect cork, no seepage. Tasted over 2h.
Still quite young and tannic. Nose a bit muted.No formal notes but a slight regret at opening this just now.
Hold and revisit in 2022.
