This spectacular new world style Bordeaux is like being in Napa while touring Bordeaux, it is both elegant and robust, rich yet sophisticated, complex yet faltering. Nose is explosive and represents the exceptionally warm 2003 vintage, full of black current, ripen plums, spicy black cherries, coffee and 90% coco dark French chocolate. Full body, firm tannins that open up beautifully, the wine is round, rich, chewy yet not overwhelming, it is elegant and the finish is loooong. My score 90, drink 2012-2019

A little over peak perhaps but still darn good.

Firing up the grill for some turkey burgers this evening. Interesting wine, quite a bit of grip remaining after 13 1/2 years. Been open all of 10 minutes.
