I passed on the 2003 without tasting. Some tasters I respect reported
that it was (like many/most 2003s) a fatter riper rounder version of
the 2002. I prefer my Beaujolais on the crisper leaner side, just my
tastes- I could see a lot of people preferring the 2003. $18 does seem
a little steep, though- I paid $12ish for the 2002.

If you get some 2003, I'd love to see your notes.
