Robert Parker (92)

Aged in 75% new oak, the tobacco, blackberry, leather, and tar-scented 2003 Clos des Lambrays is medium to full-bodied, dense, and chewy. Hugely tannic yet concentrated and deep, this is a brooding chocolate, plum, blackberry, spice, smoky mineral, and black raspberry-flavored wine. Uncivilized and firm, it will benefit from cellaring.

Winespectator (94)

An opulent, exotic red. Packed with Asian spices, sweet blackberry and raspberry ganache notes, a swath of dense tannins and new oak for support. Vibrant, and sings now, but needs time to fulfill its potential. Great length.

Burghound (93)

The expressive and now largely secondary nose is certainly ripe yet without the excesses of the vintage. There is fine desity to the relatively power medium-bodied flavors that are supple, rich and finely structured while displaying fine complexity on the solidly persistent finish where the only nit is a touch of warmth. This lovely effort is close to its peak but it is a wine that should hold for another 20+ years. I would add that the 2003 Lambrays is unusually concentrated and powerful yet not so much that it loses its sense of harmony. Tasted 2021.
