04: Tiefes Purpur. Rahmiges Bouquet, Schokonoten, schwarze Kirschen und exotische Hölzer, sehr ansprechend. Mittelgewichtiger Gaumen mit einer herrlichen Süsse im körnig sandigen Extrakt, gute Balance und wieder mit sehr reifen Dörrfrüchten (Pflaumen) endend. Zeigt sich sehr sexy! (17/20). 11: Eine Flasche auf dem Weingut mit Bruno Duboscq. Nobles Terroirbouquet, heisse Noten, getrocknete Küchenkräuter, weist eine Affinität auf zu einem grossen Brunello, dunkle Schokolade, Malagarosinen. Im Gaumen viel Tanine, gekachte Korinthen, viel mürbe Tannine. Auf dem Weg zu einem ziemlich grossen Saint Estèphe, so in etwa 3 Jahren. (18/20). 12: Eine Magnum zum Nachtessen auf Lilian-Ladouys. Schmeckte hervorragend. Die Saint Estèphes vom heissen Jahrgang 2003 sind fast alle gut. Dieser hier ist noch besser als gut. trinken ( - 2022)

Lovely aromas of crushed raspberry and Indian spices, with hints of dried flowers. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a fruity berry aftertaste. I like it better than the 2000. Seductive. Best after 2007. 25,000 cases made. ?JS

Having just had a brilliant bottle of 1982, I do not believe that Haut-Marbuzet has hit any peaks of greatness since 1990, but 2003 is a good vintage. The 2003 Haut-Marbuzet is ripe, fleshy, exotic, and seductive. Dark ruby/plum-colored with sweet black cherry fruit, dried herbs, and plenty of toasty oak, this wine has good ripeness and purity, and is ideal for drinking over the next 7-8 years.
Producer
Château Haut Marbuzet
Amongst the upper echelons of Saint-Estèphe, Château Haut-Marbuzet comfortably sits in competition with the equally eminent Cos d’Estournel and Montrose châteaux. The Duboscq family has owned and run the impressive Cru Bourgeois growth since the 1950s. Today, Henri Duboscq and his two sons, Bruno and Hughes manage the 61-hectare property. With close to half of the vines dedicated to Merlot, this high proportion accentuates the fleshy, plush side of Haut-Marbuzet wines. The grapes here are harvested exceedingly ripe, the wine is then aged in 100% new-oak barriques for 18 months. Duboscq’s extremely rich Saint-Estèphe displays the flawlessly treaded spiced notes coming from barrel maturation. The top wine, Haut-Marbuzet is a concentrated red, with brilliant notes of vanilla and subtler dark fruits, and like all the wines here, each bottle invariably outshines many of the offerings coming from the château’s biggest rivals.
