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 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 01 April 2010 |

Lovely juicy, crunchy fruit accompanied by lift and grip. A satisfying drink and accessible early on. Great value. Drink 2012-2018. Score: 16 Decanter, Decanter.com 01 April 2010 |

Licorice and blueberry aromas follow through to a medium body, with firm tannins and a linear finish. —J.S. Score: 87 - 90 James Suckling, Wine Spectator 01 April 2010 |
