2003 Lafite and Haut- Brion

2003 Chateau Lafite Rothschild;
Dark ruby, mature fruit!, cassis, blackcurrants, fresh jam, hints of prunes, cedar and cigars. Medium body but acidity could definetly be better, mature and few tannins, clean cool fruit, but very mature for it's young age, more mature than the 98 Haut- Bailly on previous post, elegant but not Lafite Material, short finish. Truly dissapointing. 80


2003 Chateau Haut- Brion;
Deep ruby, some liquorice and sweetish fruit, youthfull. Mature tannins, but there is some hints of something green and not quite ripe, lacks acidity, medium fruit intencity, medium finish, this is not anywhere near a first growth in quality, again truly dissapointing. 81

I do not understand why some love the 2003's from Bordeaux. To me they are like badly made Napa, and nowhere near the great Napa. It is Napa fruit, but not acidity, they are not together and they mature way too early. I am very sceptical. But please prove me wrong in the future.
