R.PARKER   : 2003 BORDEAUX

 Acappella 2003                                 90

A superb sleeper pf the vintage : This seriously endowed blend of 60% Merlot and 40% cabernet franc could compete with some of the top Right Bnaks wines. Its dense ruby/purple color as well as a big, sweet nose of lovely aromas of smoke, black cherries, flowers, licorice and a hint of blueberries.It boasts a multilayered texture, purity and ripe, silky tannin. Enjoy this beauty now and over the next 7-8 years.
