  I opened this bottle Sunday night and enjoyed it with Sockeye salmon. I am not a burgundy expert, but found this quite enjoyable, very unlike new world Pinot, or younger burgundy that I have had in the past. Very lush. Starting to oxidize but was still nice the next night. Wish I had more.
  
  Bottle was purchased upon release and cellared in a temperature controlled facility.

  Surprisingly good for an '03 -- started out a bit closed but after 2.5 hours in the decanter opened up to wonderful notes of: flowers, cherry and spice. Almost like a Russian River Pinot but w/o the obvious fruit and spice (note: I love RR pinot). Nice palate and mouthfeel -- finish went on and on. Probably should have waited another 2-3 years to drink my only bottle of this stuff. Will definitely keep exploring Burgundy.

  Spec's Burgundy Tasting - Mostly 2003s (L'Alliance Francais, Houston Texas): Medium garnet in color with a bit of Burgundy funk on the nose. Also on the nose was a distinct aroma that everyone was trying to place - one person said cinnamon but others including me were getting eucalyptus that is definitely not normal in Burgundy. Medium weight with drying tannins on the finish. Decently priced at around $46.
