La Vieille Cure, Fronsac 2003

Purple/red.

Vinturi - sumptuous nose - savory grilled meat/suave oak/hazelnut liqueur. Black fruit underneath.

Broad (for Bordeaux) and round, initially, then serious acid/tannin constriction kicks in. This is packed and needs several more years to unwind. RFG. Black fruit and spice flavors run through it all.
