Fully mature and not nearly as intense as more recent vintages since 2005, this wine has a plum/garnet color, with some noticeable lightening at the edge. Roasted herbs intermixed with damp earth, charcoal, barbecue smoke, and red and black currants give it a very appealing attack and mid-palate, but it narrows out quickly in the abrupt finish. It is fully mature and best drunk up.
Refined and silky. Spice and cedar, with hints of meat and berries. Full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a medium finish. Better than from barrel. Best after 2008. 13,330 cases made.James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2003
