Magrez Fombrauge Vintage:2003 Medium/full bodied

Medium/full bodied

This very serious effort will benefit from extended keeping

but it will be a vintage similar to 2001 that will take a long time to really show its best

At the same time in keeping with its having been harvested immediately after significant rainfall there isnt the focused sense of concentration that applies to this years Scharzhofberg Spätlesen or to a more typical Müller Kabinett

medium-bodied style

Magrez Fombrauge Vintage:2003 Medium/full bodiedI would have given this wine a slightly higher rating but the new oak has been pushed to the limit. Along with the toasty vanillin characteristics, the wine exhibits notes of graphite and black cherry liqueur, medium to full body, and impressive purity as well as elegance. It does not have the size of the 2003, but it is concentrated and successful for a right bank 2002. Drink it over the next 8 10 years.
