It is difficult to find a 2003 in this condition. The color is a distinct but not heavy golden and, in fact, the wine is not heavy at all. When first opened there is a strong aroma of glutamate but the bouquet the opens to scents of salted cookies, smoke and a splendid note of white rose. The creamy attack of the mouthfeel is indicative of the year and the evolution of the flavor is marked by a veil of tannins that adds character to the mouthfeel. The finish is elegant, not warm, with notes of smoke and white flowers. A true surprise.
