"The deep gravel soils that you find at Grand Puy Lacoste are not ideal for a vintage as hot and dry as 2003, and you do feel the impact of drier fruits, with fig and prune evident along with more generous blackberry and raspberry. Still has a fresh feel on the finish with fennel, eucalyptus and autumnal leaf aromatics. This is gentle and appealing, softer than many vintages but still with personality and hold. Harvest October 15 to 26, 70% new oak."
"Medium to deep garnet-brick colored, the 2003 Grand-Puy-Lacoste delivers notes of dried mulberries, fruitcake, and sandalwood, plus suggestions of cigar box and potpourri. The medium-bodied palate has ample fruit on the mid-palate with plush tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing with impressive length."
"Blackberry and licorice aromas, with full body, very fine tannins and a long finish. Very silky. So much for jammy wines in 2003. Very fresh and refined. Best after 2008. 15,555 cases made."
"Very ripe and intense on the nose with a stewed strawberry and cherry character. Full bodied, with a very jammy palate but so much fruit going on here. Ripe fruit dominates this. Pull the cork after 2013. Find the wine."
"Dunkles Granat, rubine Reflexe. Reifes Bouquet, rote und blaue Beeren, pfeffrige Note, Trüffeltöne. Im Gaumen viel Rasse zeigend, lebendige Adstringenz, gut stützende Tannine, langes Finale mit viel Kraft. Trotz grundsätzlich sehr guter Qualität vermag der GPL mit vergleichbaren Weinen nicht ganz mitzuhalten."
