2003 Pavillon Rouge du Margaux

This dry wine is deep ruby in colour with a pronounced aroma of ripe plum, blackcurrant and notes of spice, leather and earth. It has low to medium acidity and its body is not so full as expected. The tannin is soft and ripe but the length just holds for a few second. On palate, the black fruit flavours are kept going together with licorice, smoke and earth. This one is a very good second wine but the structure is not strong as I expect. Do I expect too much?? (90) (Tasted on 12 March 2009, reposted)
