A little worried I waited too long on this wine, but still drinking well. Would recommend letting it sit in the decanter an hour. Very rustic after opening, but the fruit came forward after sitting for a very well-balanced experience.

Cheers - Most of the 250 + tasting notes wrote that this wine had peaked around 2012-2015. I assumed that might be true. We all were WRONG! This wine has aged incredibly well, and of the 6 bottles I've had over the years (all 2003), this one is BY FAR the best. Great nose, palate, long finish, perfectly balanced. This wine was initially rated 90-95 points by the some of the big wigs, and I'd have to agree it's on the upper end of that scale. The problem is that probably no one has any left because we were all duped into thinking this wine was going to peak 10 years ago.....lesson learned: let's be careful....if we have some patience, it sometimes pays off!

Assez mûr, un peu rustique.
