  has that intense 2003 almost medicinal nose.( is it glycerin??) Ful throttle, intense drinking experience so typical of the hot year.
  Too much fruit forward grenache on the mid palate. This wine assaults you...doesn't let up. May be your style, but not mine. I'd like more structure/tannin to counterbalance the intense tastes...wonder how it will age?? I'd be willing to try it again in 5 years Defintiely NOT a vin de meditation...
