2003 Vintage. Obviously ripe nose but so classic. Even decent acidity. Good fruit. Clean.

2003. Day 2. I've heard middlingly positive reviews of this wine. Don't get it. Ripe, herbaceous, and stunning.

Very tasty. High acid, almost tart. Nice spice too. Nose went from strong vegetal to almost herbal.

2003 Lenoir pairs pretty well with google docs! Chilled and in the fridge half-full for three days. Tasting delicious.
