2002 Rollan de By - Haut-Médoc , Bordeaux, France

2002 Rollan de By: Tempting cherry, red berries and cedar wood flavours. The structure of this Rollan de By is quite tannic with a small hint of greenness, but the fruit is very nice and velvety. Good length and a beautiful spheric width. 87/100 

2003 Rollan de By - Haut-Médoc , Bordeaux, France

2003 Rollan de By: Dark crimson hue. The nose of 2003 Rollan de By smells lovely, with a perfume of spices and ripe cherry. Dynamic and well balanced structure with gobs of juicy fresh fruit. 2003 Rollan de By is really pleasant and absolutely drinkable at this stage. This tasting confirms ccvo-bg's statistical conclusion, which emphasized this estate as one of the good Quality/Price deals for 2003. However my guess is that 2003 Rollan de By should be consumed within the next 3-8 years because it doesn't necessary has the structure to age for decades. 88/100
