Mas des Bressades has done well in 2003 with the 2003 VDP Gard Cabernet/Syrah revealing notes of tobacco intermixed with plum, black currants, new saddle leather, and earth. It is medium-bodied, ripe, with sweet fruit and a plush texture. This is a sleeper of the vintage and best drunk during its first 3-4 years of life.
