Wine Advocate-Parker :
The dark ruby-colored 2003 (which suffered from the hot weather in June, July, and August) is already revealing some lightening at the edge. This soft, round, sensual (12.8% alcohol) effort had to be harvested before it could achieve the texture, depth, and persistence of a profound l'Evangile such as 2000 or 1998. The charming, but superficial 2003 requires consumption during its first 7-8 years of life.
