On the nose, expect evolved aromas of dark plum, cassis, cedar, tobacco leaf, leather, and a subtle earthy minerality that is classic to Graves.\n\nOn the palate, it is usually medium to full-bodied with softened tannins, layered fruit, and savory notes of graphite, spice, and forest floor. The 2003 vintage can bring a riper, more generous profile than cooler years, while still retaining the refined structure that gives this wine good drinking now and the potential to hold a little longer under ideal cellaring conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced in the gravel-rich terroir of Pessac-Léognan, the wine benefits from well-drained soils that encourage deep root growth and contribute to finesse and freshness.
