A whiff and a sip of the 2001, my generous friend decided that it was not up to her standard and pull out the 2003, which I did not expect as I was really enjoying the 2001 and also had couple bottles of white before that.
While the nose was resemblant to the 2001 in terms of its herbal and earthiness, the fruits was not taking the backseat. A soft and round palate belied the still quite firm structure. Velvety firm tannins with long spicy finish. Polished and well balanced. Plenty of life left. Beautiful!

Cherry and black currant. Drinking beautifully although would probably not leave it much longer - 2003 vintage consumed 24th October 2016.

This wine tastes exactly like a vegetarian calzone. It was impeccable: green vegetables, a creamy ricotta mouthfeel, and sourdough bread with artisanal char.

Oak has mellowed. Delicious cherry. Vanilla. Not to be missed and has legs.
