This impeccably run estate’s 2003 is much better than its pedigree would suggest. A sleeper of the vintage, it reveals a deep ruby/purple color as well as a superb bouquet of burning embers, black currants, cherries, and licorice. Medium-bodied, gorgeously fruity, lushly textured, well-balanced, and long, it will provide lovely drinking over the next 5-6 years. - Rated 89, Robert Parker

Chateau Poujeaux 2003 - Bordeaux
A forward, peppery, black currant-scented perfume emerges from this deep ruby/purple-tinged 2003. With good ripeness, moderate tannin, soft acidity, and a precocious, forward style, it can be enjoyed over the next 10-12 years. - Rated 88, Robert Parker A pleasant wine with plum, berry and light tobacco aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, with a fresh finish and a lightly tannic texture. Best after 2009. 25,000 cases made. –JS - Rated 88, Wine Spectator
Chateau Chasse Spleen 2003 - Bordeaux
Plum, black currant, and cherry fruit are present in this medium-bodied, soft, blatantly commercially-styled Moulis. Designed for early consumption, it should be drunk over the next 5-7 years.” Rated 86, Robert Parker Lots of blackberry and dark chocolate on the nose. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a fresh, fruity aftertaste. Very...
Chateau Sociando Mallet 2002 - Bordeaux
A striking minerality, copious quantities of black currants and plums, along with some dried herbs jump from the glass of this tannic, structured, somewhat severe but large-scaled, muscular wine that oozes testosterone. Virile, structured, and perhaps too tannic for its own good, but impressively built, pure, and a wine to admire (rather than possibly enjoy), this large-scaled 2002 requires 7-10 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2025+?. One of the cru bourgeois estates that always performs at classified growth quality levels, Sociando Mallet has, for 20 years, been the insider’s choice for top quality wine that will easily withstand two decades of cellaring. Bottles of the 1970, 1975, and 1982 from my cellar are still youthful and evolving! - Rated 89, Robert Parker
