Tasting notes
This sumptuous, rich, complex Margaux reveals a fragrant nose of cedarwood, spring flowers, spice box, black currants and earth. Medium to full-bodied with silky tannins and a dense, plum/ruby/purple color, this fully mature 2003 can be enjoyed over the next 5-6 years.

Mid garnet. Aromas jump out of the glass, perhaps a little volatile. Slightly odd on the palate, with some green notes. Dry and woody. (JH)
Dark, charred and sweet. Rather full and bloody. Certainly not charming. A bit of yeast extract. Very thick roasted fruit and tannins. (Average group score: 15.1) (JR)
