I organized a tasting of 2003 (mostly) French wines for the Third Thursday Tasting Group. Served alongside rustic coq au vin soup, medium rare spiced beef eye round roast, and plenty of bread and cheeses.
Great night with good friends. I came away thinking that the 2003s are spottier than many other vintages, but that the strong wines are very, very good.

The best and most complete of 4 sweet 2003s to bookend a broader 2003 tasting. Honey, citrus, pineapple,botrytis.

Flat delicious, this wine is a trashy hooker. I wouldn't call it out of balance or cloying but I wouldn't call it complex either. Don't think too hard. A porn star in a bottle. And I mean that in the most respectful way...
