Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 2003 pours a deep ruby with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and some light light sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and desiccated dark fruits, green bell pepper, leather, tobacco, earth, and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and satisfying. This was pretty impressive right out of the gate and seemed to show really well despite the challenging (historically hot at the time) vintage. Drink now through 2044.

In a word: Napaesque. I just made that word up...but it seems to capture the essence of what's going on here. This fat baby has 10-15+ years to reach its apogee. More client lunching

En Mag from @Joe Lucca this is still shedding tannin and bordering on overripe but it really does a good job of not falling over the precipice of this hot vintage. Not as much my style anymore but an excellent peek. Does what it does well.

Still plenty of life with enough acid to warrant a few more years before trying again. But very nice showing. Takes me back to Paris.

An excellent example of classified Merlot based right bank Bordeaux drinking and aging well. Intense tannins, plum, and minerals. Not the green pasture mess.
