Tasting Notes

This is often my favorite wine in this remarkable collection of stars and the '03 again puts for its candidacy for best in show as the dazzling nose positively explodes with a kaleidoscopic collection of spices and aromas that are breathtaking in their complexity followed by flavors that achieve an inexplicable combination of finesse and power. Rich, sweet, impeccably well-balanced and harmonious, this stains the palate with the powerful yet wonderfully detailed and precise flavors of flat out amazing intensity. This is a great wine and particularly so for the vintage. While the Chambertin is its qualitative equal, this RSV and the Clos de la Roche are my two favs in '03.
