Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux (2.Wein) 2003 (2 Fl.)

Lobenberg: Dunkles Rubinrot mit leichten Schwarzreflexen. Sehr offene und extrem fruchtige Nase. Im Mund ein einziger Wohlgefallen, eine Charmeoffensive, üppig, rund, weich, gute Fülle ganz sanfter Tannine, perfekte Balance, ungemein lecker. ungeahnte Länge. Nicht ganz groß aber ziemlich perfekt und für mich der beste Pavillon Rouge meines Erfahrungshorizontes.

Parker: Also a stunning wine, the 2003 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux is a sleeper of the vintage. Much fresher and less evolved than I would expect a second wine to be from this vintage, it is a Margaux-like effort with a flowery character, good precision and freshness, red and black currant notes, and an attractive, medium-bodied, surprisingly concentrated mouthfeel. It is clearly one of the finest second wines made in this vintage. 90/100 (2014)

James Suckling: Big, round, and juicy, with lots of plummy and chocolate character. Full and round, very yummy. 90/100 (2011)
