We had this on vacation last week. I took no notes but found this to be a sturdy, well-made wine, but nowhere near Parker's 95 points. Certainly worth a try at $25, but I won't be buying anymore. Imo, this is an 89 point wine. My wife gave it a 90.

Well, I just bought 3 of these @ the WL the other day. I did not expect all of the 95 points that Parker gave it. But, the way I looked @ it, even if I can get 91-92 out of it, it is worth the $33.00 that I paid for it. Any chance of it improving, Board_O, a point or 2?

Yes, I am not sure why Parker is so captivated by Aussies & Spaniards that he hands out such high & ridiculous ratings the last few years.

Maybe. I find that I don't like Italian or Spanish wines nearly as much as Parker. I paid $25 for it. I'd much rather have a Rosenblum single vineyard Zin for the $25.

I had the 2003 Mas Doix, 2003 Salanques, and 2001 Salanques side by side on December 17th. The 2003 Salanques was showing the best of the 3.
