The tar and blackberry-scented 2003 Marsannay Longeroies is outstanding. Medium to full-bodied, velvety-textured, and powerful, it regales the palate with rich waves of candied dark cherries and cassis liqueur. This deep, well-structured effort also possesses a long, fruit-filled finish. Projected maturity: 2006-2012.
