Haut-Medoc

Château Doyac 2003 is a fine example of a well-made Haut-Médoc from one of the most distinctive vintages in recent Bordeaux history. The 2003 growing season was marked by an intense summer heatwave, which brought early ripening and concentrated fruit across the region. At Château Doyac, this resulted in a wine that combines ripe, generous fruit with the classic structure and elegance of the Left Bank, making it both approachable in its maturity and still capable of providing a satisfying, layered drinking experience.

In the glass, it reveals a deep ruby core with garnet reflections, showing the graceful evolution of two decades in bottle. …

Chateau Saint-Maurice

Appearance:
Garnet with a fading ruby rim; clear but showing signs of evolution. Light brick hues suggest peak maturity.

Nose:
Open and expressive. Ripe red cherries, dried raspberries, and fig notes mingle with aged characters: leather, sun-dried herbs, and a faint balsamic warmth. Subtle traces of peppercorn, dusty earth, and old wood lend complexity.

Palate:
Silky and mellow, with the soft grip of resolved tannins. Grenache lends sweet red fruit and a soft texture, while Syrah adds depth, spice, and a faint savoury note. Expect flavours of cherry compote, black olive tapenade, and worn leather, backed by a warming hint of alcohol typical of the hot 2003 vintage. …

Vintage Port

A 2003 vintage Port Wine from Croft Port. A medium intensity Port with a garnet core and mahogany rim. A lovely pronounced nose of figs and prunes, with some walnut characters. Also slightly earthy. Good sweet fruit on the palate and a full mouth feel. This is followed by a long, smooth nutty finish. After a 40-year absence, the 2003 Croft was made by the use of traditional treading in stone Lagers. The 2003 reflects the benefits of two years of strict vineyard management with gloriously pure fruit and scents of wild blueberry and crême de more. The purity and expression of fruit persists on the palate, supported by dense but very svelte tannins, culminating in a long finish. …

An outstanding 2003 vintage Port Wine from Dow's Port.
Reviews:
"The complex aromatics of the opaque, black-colored 2003 Dow Vintage Port display chocolate, dried oak, black cherries, blackberries, copious spices, and a myriad flowers. This fresh, backward wine offers a medium to full-bodied, deeply concentrated core of spice-laced dark fruits. Softly-textured and seductive in the mid-palate, it boasts abundant layers of candied Damson plums, blueberries, black cherries, molasses, and hints of chocolate before revealing its firm structure. Extremely youthful and primary, this exceptional effort demands patience. …

1er cru classe, Barsac
Sweet white wine

The 2002 Château Climens is a graceful and delicately styled Barsac, reflecting the cooler, more classical character of the vintage. The nose opens with lifted aromas of citrus zest, white peach and fresh apricot, layered with notes of acacia blossom, honey and subtle vanilla. It is refined and beautifully aromatic, with Climens’ hallmark purity clearly on display.

On the palate, the wine is elegant and finely textured rather than overtly rich. Flavours of candied citrus, pear and light tropical fruit are supported by vibrant acidity, giving the wine a clean, refreshing profile. Hints of honey, almond cream and gentle spice add depth without heaviness, making this a wonderfully balanced and food-friendly Sauternes/Barsac. …

Sauternes 1er Cru Classe - Half Bottle

Chateau d`Yquem is often described as the greatest sweet wine in the world. After centuries of family ownership, Yquem was finally sold in acrimonious circumstances to Louis Vuitton-Moët-Hennessy in 1999. However, its former owner and director Alexandre de Lur-Saluce remains in charge. Yquem is located on the highest hill in Sauternes and enjoys the best growing conditions in the whole appellation. The 110-hectare vineyard is planted with 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. Only fully botrytized fruit is picked by the 150 highly skilled pickers and yields are so low that each vine produces only one glass of wine. …

St Julien, 4me Cru Classe

** 90 Points Neil Martin **
Reviews
"This may be the largest vineyard in the Medoc, with nearly 300 acres under vine. There was a period in the nineties where Talbot seemed to be a bit off form, but quality over recent vintages has displayed considerable promise. This estate is capable of producing very special wines, as anyone who has tasted their 1986 or 1982 can easily attest. The 2001, which represents only 50% of the production, is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc. A dense saturated ruby/purple color is followed by notes of smoked herbs, licorice, cedar, incense, plums, and black currants. …

Vintage Port

The 2001 Quinta do Vesuvio is a very dark ruby colour. The Touriga Nacional’s tiny yields brought great concentration to the wine, while the Touriga Franca, due to the good weather during the harvest, achieved perfect ripening, creating wines of great elegance. The Tinta Barroca was very ripe at the time of picking, with a higher than average baumé, producing wines of excellent structure and ageing potential. The old plantings of Tinta Roriz had lower than normal yields in 2001, giving wines with a typical concentration of berry fruit aromas.

Sauternes 1er Cru Classe

Only 25,000 bottles of Yquem were made in this very tough Sauternes vintage. A truly valiant effort from this fine property.

"The millennial 2000 Chateau d’Yquem is a valiant effort in one of the most challenging Sauternes vintages in recent memory. The 2000 is quite deep in colour. The nose is crisp and well-defined but not the most complex, as you would expect from a truly challenging growing season in Sauternes. It is pleasant in its own way with delicate scents of tangerine, yellow flowers and Mirabelle. The palate is well-balanced with marmalade tinged opening. I like the acidity here, an Yquem with good race, although it does feel a little tapered toward the finish. …

Vintage Port
***98 Points- Wine Advocate***

98 Points (Parker)
98 Points (Wine Journal)

Reviews: "Among the most saturated blue/purple/black-colored examples of the vintage, Taylor's 2000 tastes like a young vintage of Chateau Latour on steroids. Aromas of graphite, blackberry liqueur, creme de cassis and smoke jump from the glass. Spectacularly concentrated and enormously endowed, with sweetness allied to ripe tannin, decent acidity, and layer upon layer of fruit and extract, this is the leading candidate for the port of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2040." Parker, Wine Advocate 2002.

Vintage Report:
After a mild June, July and August were hot and dry, leading to good even maturation, with the Tinta Barroca looking particularly promising. Maturation studies carried out between 19th August and the beginning of the vintage, determined the following picking order at Vesuvio: Old vineyards; Tinta Barroca; Tinta Amarela; Tinta Roriz; Touriga Nacional; Tinto Cão; and Touriga Franca. Picking began on the 21nd September and continued until 4th October; great care being taken to select and vinify the very best fruit separately, once perfect ripeness had been achieved.
