Château Margaux 2003
Margaux, 1er cru classé
Offered in an original wooden case
Tasting note: Two notes. Ex cask March 2004: predictably deep, dense; even at this stage far too oaky, ‘pure wood staves’ and lacking the usual whoosh of youthful aroma; sweet, rich, very slightly malty, dense. Alcohol 13.4%. More recently, 3 months prior to bottling: appearance already loosing its youthful garb, opening up; nose low-keyed, touch of coffee and soft sawn wood; sweet, high extract, soft, very rich yet firm. Sweet tannins. Attractive. Relatively early development? Last tasted May 2005 (****) 2013 – 2023. MB
