but it will be a vintage similar to 2001 that will take a long time to really show its best

The tannins have more softeners and polish that I usually detect in their wine

This very serious effort will benefit from extended keeping

Sexy mineral- and spice-laced black raspberry

brooding and focused flavors that explode on the hugely long and deep finish

Magrez Fombrauge Vintage:2003 but it will be aI would have given this wine a slightly higher rating but the new oak has been pushed to the limit. Along with the toasty vanillin characteristics, the wine exhibits notes of graphite and black cherry liqueur, medium to full body, and impressive purity as well as elegance. It does not have the size of the 2003, but it is concentrated and successful for a right bank 2002. Drink it over the next 8 10 years.
