Tasting Notes

88
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jul 20
The 2003 Meyney was one of a cluster of wines from the Northern Médoc that performed very well in this infamous growing season, even if it cannot hold a candle to the top Saint-Estèphes. It has a ripe damson and cedar nose with a little fig and raisin developing, fraying slightly at the seams yet still fresh. The palate has softened in recent years, and there is plenty of fruit in situ, but the 2003 turns quite brazen toward the finish, where the imprimatur of that hot summer is evident. Still, it has aged well, even if not up to the standard of recent vintages. Tasted from a bottle at home.

48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 13% Petit Verdot, 16% Cabernet Franc. 44.88 hl/ha. Harvested 3 to 25 September. Deep, bright colour. Still incredibly youthful. Graphite, blackcurrant and menthol notes. Savoury edge as well. Lots of fruit still, the palate ripe but dry. Fairly punchy tannins so a bit of chew on the finish. Maintains freshness. Still going strong. Remarkable for the vintage. (JL)

Saint-Estèphe Fine Wine

Saint-Estephe

Saint-Estèphe, a prestigious Bordeaux appellation in the northern Médoc, is known for robust, full-bodied red wines primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. These wines are deeply coloured, with firm tannins and rich flavours of dark fruits, earth, and spice, making them structured and age-worthy. Top producers include Château Cos d'Estournel, Château Montrose, and Château Calon-Ségur. The region's gravelly and clay-rich soils contribute to the wines' distinctive character and complexity.
