Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Margaux 1er Cru 2003

100
/100

Sort rubinrød farve. Lidt lukket næse af sorte frugter, lidt tjære. I munden en uovertruffen tanninrigdom, ekstremt poleret og blød og blid. Munden er helt foret med sort frugt, altid denne masse af bløde tanniner, stor længde. Dens finesse kan kun sammenlignes med Lafite, en af årgangens superstjerner. En virkelig stor vin, den bedste Margaux, jeg nogensinde har smagt en primeur, drikkelig tidligt, men meget langtidsholdbar. 100/100

Parker om: Chateau Margaux 1er Cru

Am I being too stingy with the 2003 Chateau Margaux? 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, creme de cassis, and pain grille. Not a blockbuster, it offers extraordinary intensity as well as a surreal delicacy/lightness. There is riveting freshness to this offering, which tips the scales at a lofty (for this estate) 13.5% alcohol, as well as an alluring sweetness and accessibility. It probably will tighten up over the next few years. Nevertheless, it is a profound Chateau Margaux that brings to mind a hypothetical blend of the 1982 and 1990. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2035. 99/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Margaux 1er Cru

Ultraconcentrated, with layers and layers of fruit and superfine tannins. Plenty of fruit, mineral and meat character. Full-bodied yet refined and classy, it coats your palate with gorgeous fruit and ripe tannins. Truly superb. One of the wines of the vintage. 98/100

Suckling om: Chateau Margaux 1er Cru

This is a wonderful surprise. Showing an amazing nose of dried raspberries, strawberries, and flowers. On the palate this wine is full bodied, with pretty framed fruit and silky tannins. This wine is deep and wonderful, with scores of complexity... fascinating stuff. This is drinking like an old classic right now, but could still use five years in the bottle. Don’t pull the cork until at least 2015 to see it’s true glory. 98/100
