Reserve de la Comtesse, Pauillac, France 2003

A warm-vintage Pauillac showing plush maturity and classic Left Bank character. Aromas of cassis, dried black cherry, cedar, cigar box, and earthy spice lead the way. On the palate it’s smooth and generous, with softened tannins, hints of leather and tobacco, and a savory, gently fading finish. Drinking beautifully now—polished, approachable, and unmistakably Bordeaux. 🍷
