2003 Ch. Picard

This deep purple dry wine shows how ripeness of 2003 vintage. It give blackcurrant and black plum on nose with a trace of cedar wood. It has medium to high acidity and full body. The wine is a bit viscous with a mouthful of black fruit on palate. The tannin is strong and it dries my gum up to my ears. The wine though a bit of single tone and lack of complexity, is much enjoyable than I think of cru bourgeois. (89) (Tasted on 12 October 2008, reposted)
