I did not expect the 2003 Chateau Margaux to show this well in a vintage where the southern part of the Medoc was clearly less impressive than the north. However, it is a beautiful, dark plum\/purple-tinged effort with sensational aromatics, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and a youthfulness, precision and freshness that belie what one generally associates with this vintage. It can be drunk now and over the next 15-20 years. Kudos to Chateau Margaux. - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.robertparker.com\/author\/B7JmykPiiAEp9T2vY\"\u003eRobert M.

The nose has retained satisfying freshness. Dusty red bricks and gravel scents infuse the mainly red fruit. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, harmonious, fresh with good tension and touches of white pepper and clove. It approaches full maturity, though this is one of the few 2003s where you can afford to wait. The late Paul Pontallier managed to conjure up a very respectable First Growth this vintage, though it is one I would be inclined to drink sooner rather than later. Tasted at the château. - By\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNeal Martin\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eon\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eApril 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cellar.com","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":43038069686435,"sku":"182571","price":599.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/4104\/0803\/products\/red_wine_20af6e74-6fc3-45c0-946b-da0418cdccb4.jpg?v=1682321918","url":"https:\/\/cellar.com\/products\/margaux-2003-750ml","provider":"Cellar.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
