2003 Laurona Montant

[TheEngineer]

When I was looking for this note, it caused me to look back through the years and back in 2009-2011 I was drinking a lot more Spanish. That must have been my Spanish period

Well, lately, I've been eyeing that side of the cellar more. A bit neglected for sure compared to my recent OMG period with Burgundy...but it was worth a return.

This wine has certainly developed though I'm not sure whether it is in a dumb phase or whether it is getting past prime. The wine is still rather elegant and full of spices but one thing dominants now that concerns me a bit, the wood. The wood is nice, high end, cigar box, cedar, lovely really but it dominants like I just bit into a piece of wood. So I put the cork back into it and will revisit it in a couple of nights to see if anything comes back. Nonetheless, still pleasant now, especially ify ou like wood.....
