Ah, the bounty of the 2003 Bordeaux. Warm and inviting aromas of blackberries, violets, fresh lavender and barrel spice mix with not as friendly notes of French oak and a little heat. Very round and rich on the palate, with gobs of rich cassis and black currants, chewy tannins and cedar. Missing the cool earth feel of a fine Bordeaux, but certainly something the U.S. crowd will enjoy.
