| Parker Review: |
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. |

| Steve Tanzer Review: |
Medium-deep red. Roasted currant, leather and tobacco on the expressive nose. Smooth and silky on the palate, with noteworthy concentration and a lovely core of sweetness supported by firm structure. The berry, mineral and lead pencil flavors are generous and expressive. In the hot, dry summer of 2003, this chateau obviously benefited from the substantial clay content of its soil. This was bottled in March. |

| Wine Spectator Review: |
Aromas of blackberries, licorice and toasted oak follow through to a full-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a long finish. Very subtle. |
