| Just got a call from local retail store:
03 Marquis Philips @ $13.99 and S2 and 9 @ $35
Much higher than last two years on the S2 and 9....anyone buying this? | | |

| With the '03s reportedly not showing as well as previous vintages, and a cellar full of the 01s and 02s, I am passing. | | | 2008: the end of an error | |

| Based on the showing of the 2002 Shiraz, I wasn't inclined to purchase any 2003s and EW just shut the door on any doubts I may have had. I may miss out on one or more nice Parker scores, but I would rather spend my $ elsewhere. | | | |

| Passing. PURPLE said she might pick up a few but isn't bothering to go out of her way to buy them. | | | Joe-----Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. | |

| The 9 is pretty good but not quite up to the 01 or 02 which I loved. I would give it a 91. The basic shiraz is quaffable and nice but again, not up to the 01 or 02 standards, although it seems more balanced early on than the 02 was last year at this time.I give it an 87. If I get a real good deal ($25-30) I may pick up some more of the 9 but will probably pass on the regular shiraz. | | | |

That's funny. On my own tasting notes sheet I scored it 87 points as well. Since we both scored it that it must mean Lord Parker will annoint it with 95 points. LOL! | | | Joe-----Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. | |
