Had the rest of the bottle on Monday night with my birthday dinner with my family. The Albis developed a little more complexity overnight in the bottle. So I'm raising my score a point to 91. I actually liked this wine ever so slightly more than a 2004 Vine Cliff Oakville, another wine I have loved since the first bottle I drank. And happily, five more to go. That was my last of three bottles of 03 Albis though

Fully integrated blend of Cabernet (73%) and Carmenère (27%) in exquisite balance. Soft mouth feel. It is ready to drink now. Decanted in the glass for 30 minutes.

Very pronounced aroma of black currant (rather, black currant leaves), which almost makes the nose one-dimensional. But the wine is nicely rounded on the palate.
