                                | Tasting Note: | Wine Advocate #146(4/2003)  Rating: 90 points  Drink: 2008-2019 An outstanding Duhart, certainly one of the best produced at this estate since the 1996, 1986, and 1982, this blend of 80.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19.5% Merlot reveals a deep ruby/purple color as well as notes of lead pencil intermixed with wet stones, black currants, and a certain leafiness. Medium to full-bodied, ripe, and dense, but tightly-knit, with considerable tannin, it will require patience. For those willing to wait, it will be a sleeper of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2019. -Robert Parker
 
 Wine Spectator (7/31/2003)  Score:90
 Loads of plum, tobacco, meaty and cedary character on the nose. Full-bodied, with lots of chewy tannins and a long, luscious finish. This needs time to open. Closed now. Best after 2007. 20,000 cases made. –JS
 
 Decanter Rating:
  Very good colour, lovely, very pure Cabernet Sauvignon nose, really good grip but not hard and over-tannic, very good extraction, a firm but totally ripe wine. Good. Ready 2007-2025.
