This bottle was fruity with a dark cherry dark chocolate and oak flavor. The wine was well balanced. Finish was long and dry with a touch of oak residual taste

Mixed impressions here. Initially a dark brooding and heavy oak and tannin wine -- not tight but filled the mouth with mixed dark berry fruit flavor-93. Second and third glasses were much lighter; a bit off acid and flowery-89. Drink soon!!!!

I opened this bottle for a friend and ended up having only a small glass. It is big fruity and has smooth tannins. Right now all my bottles of 03 are throwing lots of sediment. Decant/filter for the most enjoyment...it took about an hour for this wine to open up

The initial glasses started out super strong with gigantic fruit and well balanced oak and tannin. As we drank it lightened up and showed a sweet fruit and less tannin with the oak being more dominant.

Past it's prime, still some fruit but had a slight bitter aftertaste
