Chapelle Segur 2003 - Robert Parker : 87-89 points

A substantial, blockbuster effort from this unheralded terroir, the inky/ruby/purple-colored 2003 Chapelle Segur boasts huge black fruit flavors, good structure as well as density, and a corpulent personality. Who knows how it will evolve, but there is a lot here. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.

Peyfol 2003 - Robert Parker : 88-90 points

A big, concentrated, substantial Cotes de Castillon, this sleeper of the vintage boasts a dense ruby/purple color in addition to aromas of chocolate, black cherries, spice box, and herbs. With medium to full-bodied, concentrated flavors with plenty of glycerin (from high alcohol) and sweet tannin, it should be consumed over the next 6-8 years.

Haut Mazeris, Fronsac 2003 - Robert Parker : 87 points

The 2003 Haut-Mazeris Fronsac is a broad, sensual, medium-bodied, dark plum/ruby-colored, beautifully made effort that is ready for current consumption. With a nice lushness as well as low acidity, it should drink well for 5-6 years.

Vinde Bob 2003 - Robert Parker : 88 points

This sleeper of the vintage is a project of “bad boy” and brilliant winemaker, Jean-Luc Thunevin. A big, sexy red, it offers copious quantities of black cherry and black currant fruit as well as hints of smoke and earth. With low acidity, a beguiling texture, and admirable opulence, it is a gorgeous 2003 to drink over the next 2-3 years. Bordeaux (actually this wine is made just outside of Bordeaux, in Bergerac) needs more wines such as this!

Huat Mondain (Blance)

Grapes from the venerably aged Semillon radiate fresh fruit aromas, mainly pears and lemon flavors. Two defining characteristics: Refreshing and quality dry finish.

Magnifique cuvée, avec une bouche ample et volumineuse, des tanins mûrs, profonds et très soyeux couronnent cet assemblage entre la puissance du merlot et la finesse du cabernet sauvignon.
