The Wine and Chocolate tasting at Breaux was amazing. The room that they were holding the tasting in was lit by candles and was filled with wine barrels making a very romantic setting. The chocolates came from a local farm and paired nicely with the vertical tasting of Cabernet Sauvignons from the Breaux Library.
After the tasting, we grabbed a bottle of the 2003 Lafayette and sat on the patio while we watched Bruce play. I did a brief review of the 2001 Lafayette in 2006.
The 2003 is 100% Cabernet Franc and it makes a different wine. The wine has a strong peppery taste with hints of plum and aromas of tobacco. The wine has been in the bottle long enough that it has mellowed nicely but it still has strong tannins and a nice finish. A good value at $18.00, I would rate it a 90.
