Cedar, herbs, and vegetal characteristics along with hard tannin dominate the 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon VDP d’Orange. Without the textural richness and plushness of the 2004, it is a coarser, more savage example, hence my reservation about its future evolution. I would opt for drinking it over the next 5-6 years.
