Tasting Notes: Wine Advocate #214, Aug 28, 2014, by Robert M. Parker, Jr. "A healthy, youthful dark plum/ruby/purple color is followed by a bouquet of smoke, barbecued meats, black currants and new saddle leather. With full body and sweet tannin, this 2003 is strutting its stuff. It is a complex, classic Pauillac to enjoy over the next decade." French oak barrels for 15 months (70% new wood)
