  I had this wine 9 months ago and I liked it, but I like it more now 🙂
  Why? Besides all flavors I detected for the first time like spice, tobacco, herbs and mocca ( more mocca this time!) this wine shows also red cherry, black cherry, milk chocolate( I would think - St.Emillion) Finish is much longer than first time. Velvety texture and again soft tannins and acidity, but they blend perfectly with flavors. Aromas are lovely. Black cherry, blackberry, milk chocolate, tobacco, leather, plum. Sweet wine!
  2003 was outstanding vintage according WA Vintage Guide - 95 pts
  Vinous - 93

  Let breath first at least 1.5 hours and then it is excellent

  Drinking wine with my friends...
  It was extraordinary vintage for Pauillac and this wine showes it. On one hand with soft tannins and acidity ( but they are here!) on other hand still live with a kick of spice, tobacco, herbs(👍) and mocca ( nice).
  Short finish with silky texture.

  (Decanted for one hour)
  Maturity and fruitiness in a wonderful combination showing dried herbs, morello cherries and some charcuteries and opens up with chocolate and coffee and smoothing tannins in a very pleasant way. A bit too warm and herbal compared to other vintages, still drinking very well right now.

  (Decanted for one hour)
  Maturing nose showing green olives, herbs, chocolate and charcuterie in a pleasant way. Still austere tannins on the palate, with some primary fruit left, but more tertiary notes are taking over more and more as it opens up in the glass. This has evolved very well and should keep for many years to come.
