Chateau Bernadotte 2003 Bordeaux
Haut-Medoc, Bordeaux 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. - Rated 90, Robert Parker Aromas of blackberries, licorice and toasted oak follow through to a full-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a long finish. Very subtle. Best after 2008. –JS - Rated 90, Wine Spectator

Chateau Chasse Spleen 2003 - Bordeaux

Chateau d'Aurilhac 2003 -Bordeaux
A strong effort from the Haut-Medoc, this full-bodied, deep, slightly monolithic but concentrated 2003 displays red and black fruits intermingled with licorice, earth, and underbrush. A potential sleeper of the vintage, it should drink well for a decade. - Rated 87-88, Robert Parker
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.

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
Chateau Sociando Mallet 2003 Bordeaux
Sociando-Mallet is the poster child for what cru bourgeois estates can achieve. This is a wine that is consistently of classified-growth quality and also one of the longest lived wines made in the Medoc. An exceptional vintage for Sociando-Mallet, 2003 has produced a spectacularly concentrated, inky blue/purple-colored wine with an extraordinary...
