2003 Bordeaux is not the product of a vintage of the century. As a vintage, 2003 Bordeaux is uneven but the best wines are stunning examples of Bordeaux at its best. Off course the Chateau Grandis is not a prestige wine, and I first tried several bottles from 1998 and they were also dynamic & uneven, but the good ones were really good and the same goes for the "2003 vintage. The wine is somewhat a bit less full bodied compared to other clarets, but it's paired with a touch of black currant & also strawberry (yes) and animalistic stable tones, tobacco and chocolate so this is a Bordeaux wine I usually drink during the summer time in the evenings. My score is based on the bottles that are really good, but in 25% of the time you might only get a bottle that is ok and then the rating would probably land at around 87. I find this wine to be a bargain when hitting the high notes so I usually buy a box of 12 bottles at a time.
