Opened and decanted. The nose showed layered tertiary notes with plum and dark fruit, along with a slight menthol lift. On the palate the wine was beautifully balanced, with excellent acidity and well integrated tannins. Enjoyed over about 90 minutes, and it was fascinating to watch it evolve in the glass.
95 points.

Awesome showing for 23 years old and a super hot vintage congrats!
It WAS very hot in ‘03.
I was in the Médoc in August. It was 39°C, but the most memorable thing was the crushing humidity.
