Le Cigare Volant, 2003
(0 
)
)
:Wine Rating
In 2003, whether due to a faulty GPS or some very funky pruning in the Hecker Pass, the Cigare temporarily drifted away from its traditional reliance on grenache as a moral tether. Here syrah and mourvèdre are dominant and they have seen fit to take grenache behind the woodshed. Of recent vintages, this is the densest. We last detoured down this track in 1995 and you can hardly quarrel with the results. The 2003 should mature along a similar trajectory, the meaty musculature of the syrah and mourvèdre providing a solid framework for the spice cake and peppery ornamentation to coalesce and evolve around over the next 15 years.
