| 2003
was without a doubt a very exceptional
year in terms of the weather.
Although it did not beat the
record for lowest rainfall,
attained in 1961 (258 mm) for
the period April to September
inclusive, 2003 comes close
behind with 263 mm. The hundred-year
average is 410 mm and in the
wettest year; in 1992, 697 mm
of rain fell. However, in terms
of temperature, all the records
were broken in 2003. |

red 2003 reveals a deep purple
colour with a nose of black
currants, berries, liquorice
with a hint of spice, vanilla,
roasted coffee and black chocolate.
The well balanced body is followed
by a deep mid palate and supple
tannins that lead to a textured
and fleshy long finish. |
