The 2003 Dosage Zero comes across as somewhat heavy and lacking the verve of the finest wines in this line-up. An attractive array of apricots, peaches, smoke and minerals emerges from the glass, but the wine could use a touch more focus and poise. The 2003 Dosage Zero is 65% Chardonnay, 16% Pinot Blanc and 19% Pinot Noir bottled with no dosage. This is Lot. N. L08023-03 disgorged winter 2007. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2013.
