Merchant's description
Since the 17th Century, the Grand Vin of Château Margaux has been recognised as being one of the greatest wines in the entire world. 2003 was an exceptionally warm year and this is a powerhouse release of quite prodigious concentration and complexity. It is full-bodied and voluminous yet exhibits masterful balance and superb delineation.
