Deep garnet. Quite a ‘burnt’ nose. Sweet palate entry and no evident tannin or acidity. Flattering but ready with a light rusty-nail finish. (JR)

A legitimate sleeper that is still young and rich, this 2003 possesses lots of cassis, earth and mineral characteristics in its smoky, spicy, vibrant, young personality. It has reached its plateau of full maturity where it should remain for another decade. This would have been a great buy in 2003.

Score 14/20 · Drink 2010-2015, Jancis Robinson MW, Oct 2010
Deep crimson. Round and sweet and definitely lacking in refreshment value. Thick cocoa soup with green notes on the end. (Average group score: 14.2) (JR)
