This remains the product of a very ripe vintage even if there are now secondary nuances present on the aromas of coffee, tobacco, plum, prune, smoked meat and dried herbs that are still trimmed in enough wood to notice. There is lavish richness to the opulent and almost thick flavors where the supporting structure is still firm though not so much that this couldn't be enjoyed now. This is not my style but it's not imbalanced or unduly warm and it's a wine that will live for 50 years, perhaps longer. With that said, I don't believe that the '03 CdT is going to improve further, though it will undoubtedly change progressively.
