2003 Chateau D'Aiguilhe

[TheEngineer]

Purchased from Waitrose...yes STILL in London....will get to go home soon I think. I keep saying that.

Deep dark purple, looks like a Zin! Nose is of sweet dark fruits, black berries, black cherries, some herbiness but not bad, and slightly smokey. While ripe, the texture is not too thick and has decent balance. Having said that, little in the way of complexity and it is surprisingly short (medium length). Decent but only so. Definitely Merlot lead but this wine does not appear to be one for the ages.
