Wanted to get down to the event much earlier, but was stuck in Dallas Friday and Saturday morning. Missed the Friday tasting, and the Saturday afternoon tasting, but got there for Saturday night, and really enjoyed it! Great batch of wines!
Was definitely a great event, and was sad I couldn't be involved in the other two tastings. But the dinner we were there for was excellent, with wonderful wines shining all the way around!

Crisp, floral, citrus, notes of honeysuckle, lychee, honey, and wildflowers. Smooth, silky, really quite enjoyable. Good acidity that shows this one may have some more maturing to go. Drink now, or hold over the next several years prior to opening. May have a long life ahead of it operating at a high level.

Sweet, smooth, lots of wildflowers, with honeysuckle, and honey notes. Less acidic and less citrus notes than the 2000. Extremely smooth, approachable, just a hint of yeast and toast. Best Dom tasted out of the '00, '02, and '03 this weekend. Absolutely fantastic effort!

Much more yeasty than either the 2000 or the 2002. Yeasty, very dry, but a little buttery / oaky. More notes of Lychee than either the 2000 or the 2002. Muted, with even a little hint of white pepper on the very end of the palate. Still a great wine, but my least favorite out of the lineup of '00, '02, and '03. Just doesn't seem quite as refined as the others.
