Fully mature and very tasty. full on burgundian flavors and nose with a very long finish. Opened for about 30 minutes to let it blossom. This wine has really come into it's own. If you've got it, treasure it.

Rather full bodied and ripe, I suppose in accordance with 2003. Dusty, slightly funky red fruit and earth tones on the nose that is initially rather appealing. But...the palate shows some ripe fruit...rather jammy cherry and its hot at the end. I wanted to like this more, it was good, but it was just a bit too much.

Nose: abit jammy. rasberry, cherry Taste: Tanin mellowed after 15 minutes in glass. Fairly full bodied for a burgundy. Jammy. Rasberry and cherry. Some complexity. Likely due to 2003 heat. So abit atypical, but still nice.

More spices and sweetness on the nose than I'm used to for a Burgundy. More sweet stuff on the palate, with relatively lush mouthfeel, more baking spices and earth tones, but not as much acid or transparency as I'd like. Finish wasn't memorable. Got this on a closeout deal, and glad I did, because I wouldn't have paid full price for this.

I very much enjoyed this wine. Red cherry fruit, and bigger than I expected. Probably needs a little more time, but very good overall.
