Score 91/100 · Drink 2006-2018, Robert Parker, Feb 2006

The 2003 Cornas Les Ruchots exhibits a dense ruby/purple color in addition to a big, rich bouquet of espresso roast, blackberries, plums, licorice, and spice. Aged in small barrels, of which 50% were new, it is a full-bodied, opulent effort displaying a seamless integration of tannin. It will drink well for 10-12 years.

Score 90/100 · Josh Raynolds, Jan 2006

(50% new oak) Violet with a bright rim. Ripe but energetic blackberry aroma lifted by rose, violet and Asian spices. Sweet and lush in the mouth, with concentrated plum jam and creme de cassis flavors that betray no rough edges or overripeness. Rich and powerful through the finish, with big but well-integrated tannins.
