"A wine of extraordinary complexity and intensity, it reveals a deep purple color, a style not unlike the 1990 Margaux (possibly even more concentrated), a velvety texture, and notes of spring flowers interwoven with camphor, melted licorice, crème de cassis, and pain grillé." – Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 99 points. ​

The 2003 vintage benefited from ideal climatic conditions, allowing for optimal grape maturation and resulting in a red wine of exceptional concentration and balance.​
