Chateau La Gaffeliere 2003

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (92)

This is another St.-Emilion estate that has ratcheted up the quality level since Michel Rolland’s team was installed as consultants. Possibly the finest wine La Gaffeliere has produced since their 1961 or 1949, the broad, expansive, deep ruby/purple-colored 2003 boasts extraordinary elegance and purity as well as substantial flavor concentration. With copious quantities of dried herbs, black currants, sweet cherries, caramel, and spice box, this rich, moderately tannic beauty should be at its peak in 5-6 years, and last for two decades or more. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2025+.

Lots of blackberry and currant aromas follow through to a full-bodied palate, with layers of velvety tannins and a long finish. Chewy. Solid.
