Riper than 2000 with sultanas and plums. It’s full with ripe tannins and a juicy finish. Be patient. Try in a year or two.

The 2003 Les Forts de la Tour possesses a dense ruby/plum/purple color in addition to notions of cold steel, lead pencil shavings, and creme de cassis. Full-bodied, opulent, heady, rich, and lush, it can be drunk now or cellared for 15+ years. (RP)

Deep ruby-red. Wonderfully vinous and sappy for the vintage, with aromas of redcurrant, mineral and spice. Sweet, rich, lush and exotic but with good spice character giving lift to the flavors. A very fine-grained wine that will give relatively early pleasure...Finishes dry and classic, with plenty of richness. (ST)

Bricky garnet. Strong leafy/cedary aroma. Lifted freshness. On the herbaceous side but dry in a refined way. Elegant in a herbaceous but not green style. Lithe and fresh. 16.5/20 points. (JR)
