This is a massive wine. 15%. Very primary on the nose. Dark blackberry extract, licorice, and a roasted eucalyptus thing. With air, it became a bit more nuanced. A cured beef note became prominent. Staggering intensity in the back half of the palate. Loads of dark licorice and minerals. Despite its high alcohol, I think this will actually improve over the next 5 years. Too young now.

Overripe stewed fruit, which is only accentuated by aging. Unfortunately this seems to be the deal with most 2003 CDP.

An excellent CdP with all the spiciness and black fruits, medium bodied and bold.

Ether, cherry, blackberry, raspberry, oak, and pepper. Needs to lay down for awhile and maybe some magic will happen!
