TNR: 2003 Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle

Anyone had this wine?

I tried it shortly after release. It was obviously young and primary at the time, big, tannic, with some of the 2003 over-ripeness and heat (less so than most 2003 CdP’s), with lots of pepper and meat. While I have concerns about the vintage in general, I thought it would turn out quite nicely and I bought a few bottles.
