  Beau nez d'année chaude avec de la figue, de fruits cuits, d'epices douces avec de légères notes de terre et une pointe animale.
  Attaque large, dense avec un joli velouté et sans molesse. La seconde partie est moins convaincante avec des tannins secs qui raccourcissent le vin.
  Jolie aromatique finale sur le tabac blond et le sang.
  
  Beau pinot dans le style 2003 qui m'a paru à boire pour que la sensation de sec ne grignote pas tout avec plus d'âge.

  This bottle was purchased at the winery upon release. The 2003 vintage characteristics have faded and the appellation is showing through along with the typicity of the winery. Lovely wine. No advanced sign of age. Beautiful PV Ile aromatics.

  I found this bottle at closeout at Flickingers. It was very nice, enjoyed it more than my prior review. Nice delineation and balance. I found this bottle more restrained. Thoroughly enjoyable.

  Despite its relatively low alcohol levels, the fruit comes off fairly ripe, with a big burst of dried red cherries and a slight stewiness to the palate; There are some secondary notes of earth and spice although they take a backseat to the ripe red fruits; A commendable effort in a difficult vintage, although I think this is starting to fade

  I always like this wine and I agree with some of the other notes - this is a good 2003. Nice full nose and fruit forward for this maker. Not bad, but it does not have the drive of the better vintages. Gets better with air. This wine always needs considerable time in the bottle and then decanting to be at its best, so perhaps it could improve, but I do not think it has the structure to age like the better vintages. This vintage would probably appeal more to California pinot drinkers as it is softer and less tannic.
