2003 Claret

"The top wine here is the classic 2003 Claret, a gorgeously proportioned, opaque purple-colored effert boasting a big, sweet nose of smoky meats, creme de cassis, cofffee, and dark plums. Dense and opulent, with superb concentration, full body, high glycerin, decent acidity, and ripe tannin, this a superb moouthful of wine that can be approached now or cellared for 12-15 years." -RP
