2003 Chateau Puygueraud -- Bordeaux Cotes de Francs

CBM -- $20

This wine has some great potential, but it's not drinking too well right now. Nice fruit and vanilla, but it's overpowered by tannins that will need some time to mellow. It should drink very nicely in five years.

Wine Spectator: 89

Our rating: C++ (with potential for much better after cellaring)
