Having very much liked previous vintages of this Carmenere-Cabernet-Syrah blend, the 2003, while perfectly good, seems a bit short on substance. The nose has a bit more beet and red plum than desirable, and the palate just doesn’t have that much style or flair. Registers a bit hot and grabby on the finish.
