  Sweet soy with sour cherry acidity. A hint salty strawberries with salinity.

  Ripened plum and raisin nose. Prunes, raisins, raspberries and toasty notes to it. High alcohol.

  Deepavali Lunch at K&J's (Natura Loft): A good enough wine, well-made for a 2003 Burg, but this was certainly not a sterling Grand Cru experience. Overall a pretty good wine though. The nose was certainly decent enough, if just a touch modern, with notes of cola, cherries and strawberries wed to some earth, spice and mineral and, with a bit of air, a hint of meat and a twist of orange peel. The palate was very much the mirror image of the nose, showing in cherry cola flavours, some strawberry and stony mineral accents on the midpalate just before it finished with a little kiss of spice and toast. This showed some of the ripeness of the vintage, but it was also very nicely fresh - a bit surprising for a 2003. So, while it did not quite have Grand Cru depth, it was nevertheless a very decent wine.

  In term of a 2003, this has very good acidity to counter balance the sweetness due to the hot weather. Gevrey aromas of earth, roasted herb, blood, game and blackberry with hint of metallic core that is superior to the palate and consider quite deep an complex but not necessary at grand cru level. Soft entry with good mid palate sappiness but quickly give way to the soft texture, sweet, mineral finish that's quite persistent but seems drop off from the intense mid palate. Buy - No.
