2003 Bouchard Pere & Fils Comte Liger-Belair La Romanee Grand Cru

"Full red-ruby. Superripe but sappy aromas of black raspberry, minerals and white and black pepper. Wonderfully concentrated and vibrant, with great sweetness buffered by mineral lift. Exotic notes of pineapple and ginger add complexity. As superripe as this is, it avoids the roasted side of the vintage. Finishes with compelling sap and length." - 95/100 Int'l Wine Cellar
