Would love to hear of your experience Drew!

Popped the 2003 yesterday afternoon and enjoyed it while watching the Orioles win their home opening day for the season. Beautifull black/ purple in color. Elegant with spicy black and red fruit, tar, and a very attractive bitter note on the linguring finish. This bottle seems to be not quite as brooding as previous bottles, although I haven't touched one in a while. I paired it with a plate of pasta made from artichoke flour, mixed with smoked chicken and smoked pork laced with wilted spinich, grated pecorino-romano and a drizzle of a reserve California olive oil....all delicious as was the ball game.

Thanks, Drew. Good to know it has held up.

The dish sounds great, and I keep thinking Barbera D'Alba for it...
