Chateau Kirwan 2003

Château Kirwan is a distinguished Third Growth Margaux with captivating aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, violet, cedar, graphite, and refined oak spice. Silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and exceptional precision create a polished, elegant palate with remarkable complexity, freshness, and outstanding aging potential.

Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, venison, duck breast, truffle dishes, aged Comté, or herb-crusted prime rib.

92 Points - Wine Spectator

Classy aromas of blackberry, Indian spice and dried flowers. Full-bodied, with wonderfully integrated tannins and a long, caressing finish. A real beauty here. Best after 2010. 5,665 cases.

92 Points - James Suckling

Loads of sweet raspberry aromas here. Full and chunky, with lots of fresh fruit underneath. This is rich and powerful. Pull the cork after 2013.

89 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Kirwan has been transformed in the past decade or so. Today, as with this 2003, it produces smooth, rich polished wines, with firm wood but never too much. Acidity completes the balance.
