  February 12, 2021 - I haven't had too many 2003 Pomerols but my experience with them has been uniformly opposed to vintage generalizations. This 2003 Plince is no exception. Color may be a tad lighter than normal. A pleasant, mild bouquet of mint and saddle which repeats on the palate, which is delicate and sweet. There is decent weight and blissful silkiness, and fine, persistent tannin in the finish. A nice, mature Pomerol. Certainly not marred by the heat and hydric stress of the vintage. This is going down swell with roast chicken.

  October 7, 2013 - perfect condition, PNP lovely sexy feminine merlot, for $25 it's a steal at todays market prices. I don't agree with the other folks giving this wine such low scores, wine is great and easy to enjoy.

  October 12, 2011 - Brown edges, but still tasty. Cleary on it's last legs. Very cherry as is typical. Better after left open for half an hour. Last bottle out of a case purchased in 2006.

  June 19, 2011 - Decanted for about an hour. Classic deep Bordeaux color with a slight brown aged wine tint. Did quick taste when opened and had bright cherry, some earthiness, slight butterscotch with very low tannins. Overall a very smooth wine. Second taste after about a half hour of decanting was changed. The fruit was now darker with currant and berries, butterscotch gone. After decanting the wine had a dark fruit with plum and currant dominating the nose. The taste was a classic Bordeaux-earthiness, swirling tastes of plum, currant and a slight taste of fig. Overall a very nice wine that still will hold for years.

  March 20, 2011 - Nice earthy aroma. Feels like it is mostly merlot. Good flavor with a little rust. A good old world style bordeaux.
