| The unctuous, opulent 2003 Laville Haut-Brion is stunningly rich, full-bodied, and intense. Reminiscent of the 1989 and 1994, it offers a powerful, concentrated, honeyed grapefruit character intermixed with citrus oil, flowers, and waxy marmalade, admirable acidity, and a tremendous mouthfeel as well as length. It should drink well for 25+ years. | |||||

| Slightly reduced aromas of tropical fruits, lanolin, honey, oyster shell and resiny oak. Fat, thick and powerful, with rich peach and ripe citrus flavors along with a very rich honeyed aspect from the semillon and the sheer ripeness of the harvest. A bit livelier in the mouth than the nose suggests, and clearly better balanced than it seemed to be last spring. At 13%, this is actually a bit lower in alcohol than the 2004. | |||||

| Lots of lemon, lime and honey aromas with hints of other citrus fruits. Full-bodied, with exotic fruit character. Fresh and long. Papaya, mango and banana. A tropical drink. 88 percent Sémillon this year, the rest Sauvignon Blanc. - Barrel Tasting | |||||

| Brisk aromas of citrus skin, flowers, minerals and mint, along with a deeper hint of honey. Wonderfully fresh in the mouth yet sweet, with highly concentrated flavors of grapefruit, lemon, mint and fresh herbs. There's a coolness to this wine but at the same time more creaminess and body than the comparatively crisp 2004. The second consecutive outstanding vintage for this 100%-sauvignon blanc cuvee (A retaste of the 2004 turned up exhilarating aromas of white peach and grapefruit, wonderful ripeness in a classically dry package, and outstanding persistence. I rated the wine 94 points | |||||

| Dense and powerful. Very tight, with aromas of flint, apples and citrus fruit that follow through to a full body, with honey and vanilla character. Needs time. Like a premier cru white Burgundy. Best after 2010. | |||||
