The 2003 Cuvee Confiance Rasteau ratchets up the quality level. It boasts raspberry and creme de cassis notes interwoven with notions of espresso, scorched earth, and figs. Full-bodied and ripe, with high alcohol as well as a heady, layered personality revealing huge levels of fruit, glycerin, and alcohol, it should drink gorgeously for 12-14 years.
