Tasting notes
Intense crimson – looks very healthy. Some sweetness and minerals on the nose. Really very well balanced and complete. Racy and lifted yet with good substance and balance. Lovely texture and no excess sweetness. A very nice drink now. (Average group score: 14.2) (JR)

A sleeper of the vintage, the 2003 possesses a dense plum/purple color, a rich, sumptuous perfume of roasted nuts, cedar, figs, plums, and black currants, medium to full body, silky tannin, low acidity, and a lush, hedonistic, sensual personality. It should drink well for a decade.
Quite respectably deep colour. Light fragrant nose – rather in the idiom of the team at Pichon Lalande who make this. Sweet and round start then some green tannins insist but the fruit is pretty charming at first. Good effort for the vintage. (JR)
