No score given with day one tasting, as I am not sure if the problem I had with this wine is a flaw, a storage issue from the previous owner, or an actual problem. There was some nice material here. But there was also a cooked, stewed, pruney, raisined character that may be demonstrative of the hot year or may be a flaw. I will try on day two and reevaluate

Minerals & spice notes on the palate, with a pleasant medium length finish. A bit lighter than expected for a wine from the hot and typically fruity 2003 vintage.

Simply delicious! Incredible cherry and strawberry flavors with a strong and surprisingly pure pepper component. Your palate is just completely coated and the elegant finish goes on for 30+ seconds. Excellent QPR.

Not sure how much I like this. Tastes a little bit too much like a port.
