From the heatwave vintage of 2003, this Merlot-led Bordeaux from clay-limestone soils shows ripe, concentrated fruit. Expect blackberry compote, plum, and spice with soft, rounded tannins. While the hot year led to uneven results across Bordeaux, producers in cooler microclimates, such as Blaye, fared better, offering supple, generous wines. Now at full maturity, this 2003 is a rare example of well-preserved Right Bank style at peak drinkability.
