The Haut Beausejour 2003 is a little cracker. At only £20 or so a bottle it represents excellent value as a Saint Estephe wine and a Cru Bourgeois to boot.
I had it at a favourite place of mine in London, Planet of the Grapes.
The 2003 is typical of the year and the region. Big fruity flavours, but with the superb lingering mineral complexity of Saint Estephe's terroir that other Cabernet-Sauvignon wines of a similar ilk often lack.
Get some, before I and all my wine loving friends drink what's left out there. It's hard to find online, but it will be there somewhere...
On Wine Searcher it's scoring 85-90. That's about right. I'd give it an 88, which for the price, you will struggle to beat.
