Really pretty nose of cassis, blackberry, cigar box and leather. Immensely enjoyable palate presence. Nice texture, generous acidity, and loads of tannins. Good balance though. Strong tobacco and cassis liqueur flavors. Finishes strong with blackberry and maybe a a hint of green bell pepper (in a Cabernet Franc/Chinon kind of way). Good wine,certainly very good relative to the other wines I've tasted from the 03 vintage. Although it doesn't inspire me, the potential for it to improve for years definitely seems to be there.
