Château de Fargues 2003

A more restrained style on the nose here, but showing an appealing barley sugar aroma and some persistent oak. Full, meaty style on the palate, showing plenty of honeyed oak, but with plenty of character to compensate; orange peel and blossom flavours, a little grippy structure, and good acidity. This is very good indeed. From my 2003 Bordeaux assessment. Score - 17.5+ (out of 20). (Chris Kissack, thewinedoctor.com, Oct. 2005)
