Winehunter: 2003 Montelena Estate Cab -- $55/btl

HDH. Ridiculous price. Please buy them quickly so that I don’t.

How did Montelena fare in '03?
I never had it.

I have not opened any of my bottles, but it was an RMP 93-95.

The powerful, concentrated 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (14.3% alcohol) exhibits aromas of black currant jam, tar, smoke, and forest floor. This opulent, rich 2003, while less flamboyant than the extroverted 2002, is deep, chewy, pure, and well-delineated. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025+.

Had one a month or so ago, one of the better 03’s I have had. Nice cab with some air that will last another 10 easy.

Well worth it for $55

Thanks.
Nice deal indeed.

I had it on release and really liked it. It was pretty fruit forward and expressive for an 03 from what I remember. Just going off of memory, but I definitely liked it young.
Thats a great price, wish I had extra money!
