Deep dark red with a rich rustic edge. Dark fruits, black cherry, plum, damson, iron filings, earthy, rich. Sweet red and blueberries, earthy, plenty of furry tannins. Rich but still very fruit driven, deliciously developed, fully mature. Atypical, lacks delicacy, but plump and tasty.

Un chambolle bien fait mais qui a eu chaud. Typique 2003. On se croirait plus en nouveau monde. Fruits noirs confits, prune. Assez dense. Ca pinotte pas beaucoup...

Powerhouse of a wine. Massively Structured. A long distance runner only beginning to peak with secondary notes. Preserved red cherry, black licorice, truffle. Grippy tannin and showing raisination. Predictable 03 but epic 03 at that. Probably the heftiest wine I've had from Barthod, blind I could have put this in CDP, but it is freaking delicious regardless!

Impeccably made, though very much in character with the vintage. Tell-tale super-ripe fruit aromatically and on the palate as well. No sign of heat, though (or acidity, for that matter....). Not a lot of reason to hold this except to wonder if perhaps it might take on any interesting new dimensions with age; with that in mind, try again in a couple of years.

Hot vintage character really dominates. More black fruit, plum and prune on palate. Relatively dense and full.
