2003 Georges DeBouef Fleurie (Flower Label)

Quite enjoyable, but not one of the stars of the DeBouef stable in 2003. Deep ruby. Sweet cherry-grapey nose, with a nice touch of earth in the background. Lots of pure, ripe fruit in the mouth, but with peppery alcohol and some tannin bullying away the fruit on the finish. 87. About $12 at Spec's on Westheimer.
