This bottle was holding up well for a 2003. Better than expected. Drinking well now, no reason to expect much improvement. Good with food or as a stand alone sipper. The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry and black currant (cassis). It tastes like blackberry and black currant (cassis). It smells like clove.

After decanting for 1 hour. Great dark current smell. Texture and body was good. Long finish with excellant balance overall for a very pleasing wine for the price.
