Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux (2.Wein) 2003

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. -- RP: A terrific, value-priced second wine, the 2003 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux (150,000 bottles produced) may be the finest example of this cuvee I have yet tasted. Its dense ruby/purple hue is followed by creamy aromas of cassis, vanilla, flowers, and licorice. Round, generous, savory, expansive, and amazingly long as well as concentrated, I even joked with Paul Pontallier that this could get him fired as perhaps the selection was too severe! This 2003 should drink well for 15+ years.
