More on Chateau Rozier 2003

This was a gorgeous wine, not quite as rich and long-lasting in your mouth as the other 2003 Bordeaux we had last year, but it had a fantastic aroma, and distinct citrus notes on the tongue which mellowed a bit as it sat (and was likely further destroyed, let's face it, by the anchovy pizza we consumed with it).

Also, I delight in informing that recalcitrant Merlot-hater, Kelly, that apparently this is 90% Merlot. See? Come to the dark side, darling.

Interesting that the designation "Grand Cru" seems to be more about the potential of the land and vineyards than the actual product.
