Wineflock - 2003 Bordeaux (Kenny's): My #7, Group #5 - Medium full red color. Shy nose of earth, leaves, and red fruit. Tight black fruit with a similarly tight dusty finish. This is one of the few I found still very wound up and young that may have more to give with appropriate bottle age.

Wineflock - 2003 Bordeaux (Kenny's): My #8, Group #2 - Opaque red color. Nice nose of red fruit, earth, rose, and blood. Medium palate of graphite black fruit and a tight finish. Generally like SHL, but have never loved the 03. I guessed this was Pessac blind. Not sure what the group found here to like so much that I missed...

Full deep red color. Slightly canned red fruit nose. Big chocolately blkac fruit but angular on the palate. Seems over ripe to me, even a hint of reductiveness?
