Enjoyable but it's a bit of a one note wine - raisiny, not much structure or crispness. there is refinement to the fruit which helps but the vintage leaves its fingerprints

Tasted double blinded in Liger Belair and Bouchard dinner.
Deep ruby color. Not as expressive as others on nose with flowers especially rose, wet forest and hints of game. Typical style of 2003 with concentrated and hot tone palate with plums and berries. Relatively more oak than others. Medium level of alcohol and tannins.

(Comte Liger-Belair Vosne-Romanée Aux Reignots) Medium colour. The nose is totally different to all the other wines - slightly reductive - in the background, there's red fruit that grows in prominence in the glass, lovely purity, the nose becomes higher toned with time. Louis-Michel thinks this reductive aspect is down to the terroir, he says that the 2002 behaved in exactly the same way. Eventually develops a coffee note on the nose. Poised, silky palate that's very fruit forward - the essence of rich red cherries.
