  Bright ruby color, slight bricking at edge. Complex aroma of black fruit, floral elements, earth, and red fruit. On the palate, lovely acid and fine fully resolved tannins. The fruit however has faded, offering barely a a shadow of the vibrant fruit I've experienced with the '01, and expected from the '91. The finish was extended, layered and complex. If the fruit hadn't faded this would have been a wonderful wine. though it was tsill quite good. Pity.
  
  This is the second time I've had this wine recently and the results were identical. Maybe I shouldn't be so sure about the provenance - I will e-mail the retailer and see what they think. Especially since a reveiw from Allen Meadows in '01 (Issue 4) specifically mentions the vibrant fruit I expect from a Gouges Vaucrains.
