Not overly complex, but a wonderfully pleasant wine. This is about as close to black currant juice as a wine can get. Not exuberant, but still unmistakable black currant flavor (though not the aroma).

Today's Bordeaux (W Hotel, Chicago IL): nose: interesting as the cab franc tones are heavy in this even though a very small % was used with loads of herbs, barnyard tones, cedar planks, and sour cranberry
taste: nice and elegant with cranberry, cedar, tobbacco, and barnyard tones
overall: really nice feel and weight. THe finish is lacking a bit, but it has a nice attack and good mid palate. A very good Right bank wine from 03 when many chateaus on the right bank had a hard time coping with the heat

Very thin not much fruit and bitter taste. Thought 2003 was supposed to be so great.

Nice minerality. Very bordeaux. Softly textured, with fairly low acidity and big tannins. 88+
