Consumed with roast chicken, carrots, onions, potatoes. Not a bad pairing, but there are better. Nice lemon/lime zest, ocean air, lees, a hint of nuttiness, great acidity on the palate with a viscous texture. Nice wine and great value for the age; very enjoyable now.

Drank all of my bottles and wish I had more. Is it as lovely and complex as Ferrando Carema? No, but it is much more affordable. It gave me the same impression of place.

Had this with a lighter vegetable lasagna that had broccoli rabe and pesto sauce. I was very pleasantly surprised and have since purchased more bottles. Fantastic for the price.

Also, I second Harley1199 on the 2003 vintage, I like it very much personally. You will find quality stuff in the northern Medoc. Many are drinking well right now, but can certainly age well for another 5 to 10+ years. Enjoy!

So that Palmer 2003...difficult question to resolve
The style is quite masculine but some are saying that 2003 is loosing its weight and acidity very very quickly.
0n the other hand, there is a minority group, I'm here, defending that 2003 is an excellent vintage, showing a little heat at first but nice at this point and with a good future but depending on storage conditions.
My choice then? Well, gonna related my few Margaux 2003 just for help. Don't be rigid with dates please,
