Sticky- Let me know how this bottle is drinking. "It's easy to grin, when your ship comes in, and you've got the stockmarket beat, but the man worth-while, is the man who can smile, when his shorts are too tight in the seat." -Judge Smails |

It had an amazing nose, just so lush. It was clearly drinking better than the 01 Joseph Phelps Cab which is a great wine in its own right and it put a 98 Far Niente Estate Cab to shame. I have a couple 2000 Cinq Cepages but I doubt they will be anywhere near as good as the 03. The 03 also felt like it would improve nicely over the next 5+ years. The wine really exceeded my expectations. It is this kind of wine that makes me wonder why the 03's get a bad rap but I don't want to get started on an 03 tirade again. |

It was excellent. I was going to post a note later when I had a little more time. I may have mentioned that my wife is not into wine like me. She also thinks it is silly to spend $20 or more for a bottle. Well, she really loved it and actually wanted to know if I could get more. Ahh the irony. |

How's that drinking, Steve? I received a bottle of the 2003 at the winery a couple years ago, but am still holding off as I thought it was really young when tasted during my visit.

It was very good, but a little thin on the mid-palate. Nice nose and good fruit. I would give it a 90, but not sure it will improve any.
Altesino gave you a bottle of the 03? Nice. |

Sticky- WE gave this wine 94 points, whereas WS only gave it 86. It would appear that WE is closer to the truth. Would you agree? I was planning on holding mine until at least 2010.

I would say WE is closer but they have a tendency to overrate. Spectator definitely underrated this big time which makes no sense to me considering they give something like Don Melchor 96. I was so impressed with it I went and checked the ratings while I was drinking just out of curiosity and the disparity bothered me. I think you will be very well served holding onto it at least until 2010. |

Sticky2, remember the they at WS is different people, so can not compare really. As for the '03 Cinq, I'm curious if there is bottle variation. I have had far too many bottles of this wine at corporate dinners, and never had a bottle I would rate above 87, which I have found to be the case for most of the '03 vintage. The '02 & '04 vintage (Napa) is just so much better imo to risk a '03. Thanks for your comments. |
