Offers up decent aromas of sour cherries, then folds in leather and earth notes on the palate. This is an easy-to-drink claret for immediate consumption—little tannin, some coffee, tart cherries for balance.

Begins with modest apple and nectarine scents, then delivers bland stone fruit flavors in a plump, low-acid format that’s easy to drink, as long as it’s well chilled. Shows the ripeness of the 2003 vintage, but lacks concentration.
