2003 CHÂTEAU GUIRAUD 1er Cru Classé Sauternes
Bordeaux France
Enormously rich, on the verge of veering into sugary rather than roundly rich, slightly barley sugary. But this is still a very good wine in its big very sweet style.

BAS ARMAGNAC 20 Ans d'Âge Baron de Sigognac Domaine de Coulom
Armagnac France
Very supple soft and smooth on the nose. Followed by flavours of violets, prunes and vanilla. Gentle but long finish reminds one of how mellow armagnac can be when well aged.

2003 CHÂTEAU TALBOT 4ème Cru Classé Saint Julien
Bordeaux France
Riper and richer than Talbot 2002, and indeed the maitre du chai thinks it better than the 2000. This is a big wine for Talbot, with all the scale and concentration to go with the inhabitual 13° of... (more info)

2003 CHÂTEAU CALON SÉGUR 3ème Cru Classé Saint Estèphe
Bordeaux France
Lovely deep, 'grown-up' looking colour with more nuance than many of the 2003s at this stage. Immediate sweet blackberry fruit with fathomless depth, richly concentrated and full of graphite and bonfire-smoke... (more info)

2003 ÉCHEZEAUX Grand Cru Domaine J. Confuron Cotetidot
Burgundy France
Very sweet and harmonious, voluminous but not much more so than the Nuits 1er Cru. Fleshy, rich and enveloping, great complexity and drive.

2003 CHÂTEAU BAHANS HAUT BRION du Château Haut Brion Pessac-Léognan
Bordeaux France
Very deep, beautiful, violet-edged colour. Richly concentrated, pure, lots of volume, just a little tannic and dry on the finish - but there is enough mass and fatness here - likely to be fantastic... (more info)

2003 DOM PÉRIGNON Brut Moët & Chandon
Vintage France
Dom Perignon 2003 is a bold and interesting wine, to say the least. A vintage that saw incredible heat, most champagnes from this vintage are already somewhat flabby and dull, and the fact that DP... (more info)

2003 CHÂTEAU LYNCH BAGES 5ème Cru Classé Pauillac
Bordeaux France
Rich and dense, but not the dense concentration of Pontet Canet, for example. Velvety and pure, very harmonious on the palate. Power builds and the finish comes through with plums and black cherries... (more info)
