  3/13/2019 - CarpeDiem! Likes this wine: 92 Points

  Impressively young at 15 years! Complex nose, with intense red fruit and gentle cask notes. Medium to full bodied, this remarkably well structured and expressive bottle boasts fine fruit aromas, chocolate, toast, plum and caramel notes, with a long mentholic finish. Add this wine to a blind tasting of Bordeaux clarets and you may mislead your guests. I expect this wine to further improve and would not touch it for another 5 years. Bravo!

  Au nez encore sur le fruit primaire et des notes de bois, en bouche c'est structuré et passablement long, avec une bonne acidité pour relever le tout. Les tannins sont encore bien présent, et le fruit commence a s’affadir. En plein dans son plateau je dirais, et je le boirais d'ici 3-4 ans, je ne pense pas que ce vin puisse se bonifier davantage, et il risque de s'assécher sans élégance quand le fruit passera vraiment en arrière. 92

  Mon préféré de cette vague.Il était p-ê un peu plus tanniqe que les autres mais avec une finale terriblement longue (dans le bons sens du terme)
  Pas mal les mêmes arômes que les autres mais plus élégant.Un vin droit qui me rend heureux !
  18/20

  Was expecting (again) to be less than thrilled with this '03. Have been disappointed by many '03s from Spain, but not so with this one. Did not seem old or pruny at all. Color not faded, tannins by no means gone. This wine is quite stout and dry. I was wishing I had a steak with it instead of pork. Drank like a very nice old world Cab. Finishes very dry. Pretty impressive stuff, and still young, I think. I would hold another 2-3 years if I had another one.
