2003 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, Margaux, Bordeaux

Big, round, and juicy, with lots of plummy and chocolate character. Full and round, very yummy. Why wait? Find the wine.james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (March 2011)

Bright red-ruby. Pure aromas of raspberry, violet and minerals. Suave and supple but classically dry, with an enticing floral character throughout. Very stylish, smooth wine, with tannins nicely buffered by berry fruit.Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com.com (May 2004)

The second wine of Château Margaux is certainly as good as many crus bourgeois. This vintage is ripe and elegant. For fruit that is so ripe what is fascinating is the way the wine finishes with acidity and a great lift. Delicious in three to five years roger_vos, WineEnthusiast.com (January 2006)

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. It can be consumed over the next 5-8 years.Robert M. Parker, Jr. - 28/08/2014
