Tasted blind. Very dark crimson. Rich array of aromas on the nose. Ambitious with lots of stuff covering a pretty massive charge of tannins. Just slightly inky. Exciting finish. Very persistent. Classic build with lots of ambition. Everyone thought this was Montrose! VGV Drink 2025-2045
Tasted blind at the 2015 Southwold group tasting. A deep ruby purple in the glass, this exudes ripe blackcurrant, liquorice and toasted spices on the nose. The palate is dense and tightly wound, with intense cassis, nutmeg and toast in harmony with a bold, chewy tannic structure. This muscular style is not overpowering due to the depth and concentration of fruit. Though ripe, there are waves of freshness from the tannin and acidity in the wine. A long, savoury finish suggests a very good future ahead.
Impressive dark-cherry and dark-plum aromas with nicely delivered spices and chocolate to boot. The palate has a very vibrant, very juicy and fresh pure palate with dark cherry flavors that hold bright. Very approachable St.-Estephe. Try from 2020.
Black fruited power the nose has depth of fruit the start of the palate a rich mix of cassis and black cherry. There is mid concentration, structure with fine tannins the back palate has sweet fruit and dark chocolate the finish depth and richness.
A red-fruited and relatively seductive wine, this has good balance with decent detail and some rather nice freshness
about it. Forward and appealing, the oak is quite firm but it doesn’t get in the way.
The 2015 Meyney has a rounded red cherry and blackcurrant scented bouquet with a touch of spice that only develops with rigorous aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. I appreciate the fleshiness of this Saint Estèphe and it is nicely balanced. I can envisage this being an enjoyable 2015 to drink over the next decade, even if I suspect they will create better vintages in the future. Drink 2019-2029
An outstanding red with blackberry and chocolate character. Full to medium body, silky tannins and a fresh finsih. Very well done for the vintage considering less than perfect conditions in St. Estephe
Very dark crimson. Smells just very slightly tired although the sample was taken yesterday. Minty nose. Thick and sweet with slightly heavy oak imprint.
Drink 2022-2032
This Saint Estephe Chateau makes wines that are true to the appellation with impressive depth and concentration. Always modestly priced en primeur. The 51 hectare vineyard is planted with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot. Deep ruby colour. Very smoky on the nose with pencil shavings and cassis. The palate offsets floral violets with smoky tar and spicy clove. There is impressive concentration and intensity with firm tannins. Impressively done.
