Community Tasting Note

    October 30, 2022 - Coming from a magnum, prisitine shape. Color has some age to it with a burnt umber rim constasted by a deep and dark core. Fresh fragrant nose. Smells very much like Pichon Lalande, with various fruits and cool menthol.

    On the palate more of the same. Still fresh and vibrant. This wine in 2003 has always been soft and sexy, yet one of the more lively wines of the very warm vintage. This wine is prime now. Pretty direct, but has some subtle and delcate naunces.

    While this claret will hold for years to come, it's in a nice stage right now to drink up, Poured in a decanter and really developed its first hour, however it did not go anywhere after hour 2-3+ and was rather at its best within the first 2 hours out of the bottle.
    A nice uber prime wine to open now.

    A great testament and release from this label during a hot vintage.
