At tasting, the Château Margaux 2003 develops on the nose a fresh and pure bouquet. One can detect red fruit aromas combined with floral and subtly spicy notes. New wood is exceptionally well integrated. On the palate, the wine has a refined nature and great concentration. The final blend, due to the quality of the pressed juice, reveals high density. The latter allows Château Margaux 2003 to display itself as a strong, powerful and deep red wine with an exceptional length on the palate. The tannic structure is very elegant and silky.
