2003 Chateau Maucaillou, Moulis en Medoc 12x75cl

Vinous 84-87

Full red-ruby. Blackberry, kirsch and flowers on the superripe nose. Sweet and plump in the mouth, with slightly medicinal flavors of dark berries, shoe polish and mint. Offers more texture than real flavor today, but not bad. Finishes with dusty, slightly dry tannins. [Stephen Tanzer, 05/01/2004]

JancisRobinson.com 14.0

Reddish crimson. Sweet gamy notes on the nose. And then very marked acidity on the palate. Strange wine – not wholly integrated or balanced. A bit of a trial to taste really. Will probably always have quite intrusive tannins. Gripping astringency on the finish [07/04/2005]

Anticipated maturity: 2009-2014

Displaying oak notes as well as sweet fruit, this medium-bodied 2003 is best drunk over the next 5-7 years. [01/04/2006]
