2003 Reserve De L'Estey

Is this French Bordeaux improved? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe it's just from a very ripe year. In any event, it's got very good fruit, and a bit of tannin that suggests it will improve over the next year or two. For only $7 at Trader Joe's, this Medoc from Calvet is a good one for "Ryan's Cellar" and yours, although it's fine to drink right now with anything from chicken to beef.
