Magrez Fombrauge Vintage:2003 I very much like the

I very much like the depth and while not quite as structured as the Clos de Vougeot this will require an extended snooze in a cool cellar to realize its full

The tannins have more softeners and polish that I usually detect in their wine

medium-bodied style

but it will be a vintage similar to 2001 that will take a long time to really show its best

At the same time in keeping with its having been harvested immediately after significant rainfall there isnt the focused sense of concentration that applies to this years Scharzhofberg Spätlesen or to a more typical Müller Kabinett

Magrez Fombrauge Vintage:2003 I very much like theI would have given this wine a slightly higher rating but the new oak has been pushed to the limit. Along with the toasty vanillin characteristics, the wine exhibits notes of graphite and black cherry liqueur, medium to full body, and impressive purity as well as elegance. It does not have the size of the 2003, but it is concentrated and successful for a right bank 2002. Drink it over the next 8 10 years.
