As good as many of the 2003 St Estephes are, this one isn't. The fruit has an off putting quality and more than a bit harsh into the finish.. Not defective, just a really tough drink.

Russk. Pablo brought to the WIC. It was my wine of the night austere but with great balance. Glad I have a couple more bottles.

A bit rustic, but nonetheless very appealing, good fruit and smooth tannin. Decent length, on the whole a nice bottle of Classic bordeaux. Drink now!

Russk. 90+ points. Savory, satisfying, ready and low alcohol.

My earlier note stands. Mouth filling on entry but turns into a bitter note fairly quickly and through the finish.
