June 10, 2013 - Quite good. Decanted for 30 minutes. Slight tannins on the finish. After an hour in the glass it started to fade. Drink now.

Useful TN. Any trace of heat? That hottie 2003, you know...
Just have a couple of bottles for next 2015/2017.
Hope that your bottle wasn't typical.
Cheers! -

By all means this could go for another few years. No bothersome heat that I can recall. Well balanced with some beautiful fruit and herbal notes. I wouldn't hesitate to buy more of it. Enjoy your bottles.

Quite similar to my last experience with 2001 Sarget with ten years on.
Delicious but over the hill.
Cheers,
