Tasting Notes

The flagship property of Jonathan Maltus (his residence as well), this is the best Teyssier I have ever tasted. A tribute to his efforts, this blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc over-achieves even in a great vintage like 2009. Opaque blue/purple, with notes of charcoal, blackberry, cassis and spring flowers as well as a hint of subtle background oak., the wine is opulent, sumptuously textured, dense, pure and multi-dimensional. It should drink well for at least a decade or more.

Score: 92

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2012-2022 01 March 2012

The 2009 Teyssier possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as smoky barbecue notes intermixed with creme de cassis, black cherries, and earth. Ripe, generous, and medium to full-bodied, it should drink beautifully young yet age for 10-12+ years.

Score: 89 - 91

Lovely juicy, crunchy fruit accompanied by lift and grip. A satisfying drink and accessible early on. Great value. Drink 2012-2018.

Licorice and blueberry aromas follow through to a medium body, with firm tannins and a linear finish. —J.S.
