- The 2003 Haut-Mazeris - Canon-Fronsac is a phenomenal sleeper of the vintage. The wine possesses a huge nose of smoke, lead pencil shavings, chocolate, blackberries, and cassis liqueur. Full-bodied and dense, it is one of the most concentrated wines of the vintage ... as hard as that may be to believe. There is plenty of tannin, but low acidity and abundant fruit provide accessibility. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and consume it over the following 15-20. I suspect if you extrapolate what the 1947 right bank wines may have tasted like, this has that same port-like style.

- IWC 87-90 (6/2004): (this wine includes about 15% cabernet from century-old vines, plus 15% cabernet franc and the rest merlot, according to Jean-Luc Thunevin) Bright ruby. Chocolatey aroma of surmaturite Fat, lush, soft and full, with slightly roasted flavors of currant, leather and shoe polish. A distinctly plump wine, finishing with building, sweet tannins and very good length.
