2003 La Fleur de Bouard

Decanted for 60 minutes, took a sip and knew it was not ready, it was tight and really lean with an almost green streak. After another 30 minutes in decanter it blossomed into a gorgeous wine.

Nose of cherry, chocolate, coffee, truffle, and spice.
Palate shows dark chocolate covered cherries, nutmeg, subtle coffee, with medium tannin and acid
Finish is medium+ that finishes strong and complex initially but morphs into a singular cherry note.

Really nice for the price point 91 points
