Ripe currants, leafy herbs, chocolate, and classic Cabernet Sauvignon lead pencil and leafy tobacco notes all emerge from the 2003 Chateau Montelena, a layered, medium to full-bodied, fleshy, opulent Napa Valley beauty that's squarely in its prime drinking window. Given its depth of fruit and concentration, it has another 10-15 years of prime drinking.

A big wine from the Barrett family (14.2% alcohol), this 2003 exhibits earthy black currant fruit, the restrained but intense Montelena style, full body, good richness and impeccable balance, purity and density. The color is a healthy dark ruby/purple and the wine shows lots of cassis. In spite of the restrained aromatics, the palate is rich, full-bodied, substantial and persuasive. This is a heritage wine from this great estate in northern Napa Valley. (RP) 94+
