Unfortunately, this was carrying a taint, and although drinkable, it is unfair to rate the wine. I suspected from the moment I tried to extract the cork which was dried out and almost impossible to remove. Both of my cases were purchased from the same source and stored identically, and this was the first time in a decade of drinking. The vagaries of drinking Bordeaux!

No formal notes. Double decanted 2 hours. Savory nose with red berry fruit still very evident. Nice weight with red berry lift on the palate. Enjoyable with the roast lamb.

4+ hours slow ox. This bottle had a lot more weight to it than my last. Like so many '03s, this wine is drinking "young". Almost no sediment. Far more black raspberry than blackberry fruits, plus a wonderful layer of overripe blueberry with touches of mocha and cassis to boot. A full mouthfeel that also had a velvety weightlessness to it. The very ripe to overripe fruits hid some of the graphite and other mineral and herb elements you sometimes get with this Chateau, but that did not hurt this wine's performance. Well done.

Rich, in-depth black fruits! Grand in scale, delicious and full of spiciness, needs time!
