Chateau Teyssier, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

Mature. Vertical, dry, elegant (AD loved it), everything is integerated. Sweet fruit, some led pencil, seamless texture. Very fine. No need to age this further. Very nice with steak haché

2004 vintage

Bordeaux (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street) : Meaty, polished plums, sweet spice, cedar, a little creamy note. Juicy, surprisingly dilute on the palate, woody tannins offer a cats tongue rasp, dark fruit is in the background but persists. Hmm

2020 vintage

Cherries, licorice, flowers and a background note of cocoa come to the nose easily. The wine is soft, polished and medium-bodied, with a fresh, red plum and dusty cocoa finish. This is already delicious. You can enjoy this with pleasure on release. Drink from 2023-2032.

2020 vintage

Yummy despite a sketchy looking cork

2004 vintage

Camphor, jammy black and red fruits, herbs, mint, tobacco and forest leaf on the nose get you into the medium-bodied, soft, forward, fruity, easy to drink style here. The chewy finish comes along with a touch of mint and espresso in the end note. 88-90

2020 vintage

Very deep Ripe, juicy and very ripe, playful nose – fragrant, herby blue/purple floral quality, and spice. Very juicy attack, supple and creamy, with some sweetness and elegance, lower acid and supple, lightly grippy tannins. A little lighter than it has been.

2020 vintage

Medium bodied, forward, and already open, the wine delivers an easy drinking, warm, red berry profile with soft textures and rosy fruits in the finish. The wine was produced from blending 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Due to that vicious frost, a large portion of the harvest was lost.

Nicht so viel Obst wie erwartet, aber viel mehr Wein. Kein extrem abgestuftes Aroma, dafür viele einzelne Teile. Schön, alt, würdig, allerdings leider auch etwas arg alt. Der war fällig.

2004 vintage

Just drank my last one of several over the years. It is still quite good, but I would drink up if you have any left. The fruit is starting to show age after opening and it lacks the acidity it once had. Still a fine bottle with a steak or chocolate.

2004 vintage

Très bon. Date de consommation idéale.

2004 vintage

aroma of blackberries and pencil shavings. Blackberries, wood shavings, anise, spice on the palette. Merlot/cab franc evident. Nicely balanced and good value Bordeaux

2004 vintage

Rich fruity nose of cherry, plum, some blackcurrant, figs, leather, graphite. The Cabernet Franc is very much present. Plum and cherry palate, with a background of softer red fruits, mix of earthy and austere minerals on the back palate. Firm tannins, good acidity. Still needs a while in the decanter. Good solid right bank claret that doesn't break the bank.

2004 vintage

Decanted one hour. Red with signs of aging. Very strong bouquet of bubble gum, tar. After another hour, perfect balance, elegant, smooth, tons of subtle red fruit and chocolate. Very long finish, but could have more concentration. Still has a lot of life in it.

notes to follow

2004 vintage

inviting nose of red fruit laced with vanilla but slightly lacking interest on the palate. Soft tannins, high acidity. Drink up.

2004 vintage

Drank smooth with nalanced tannins and acids and enough fruit to make it interesting

2004 vintage

Nice dry red wine. Tannins are settled down, it would not benefit from any more cellar time.

2004 vintage

Comes across hot and unbalanced. There is some red fruit and maybe a little earth. Moderate length finish

2004 vintage

Nice warm nose of fresh baked confectionery, marshmallows and some discreet oak. While the entry is q ordinary, it developed quickly into a good mid-palate of layering red fruit and spices. V lush, mid bodied texture. Definitely modern in style. Not sure about structure for aging but drinking beautifully now. http://sgbordeaux.blogspot.com/2012/01/teyssier-2004.html

2004 vintage

Very silky and smooth. Kind of quiet on the aromas with only a little floral and cherry action. Subdued flavors on the palate. Seems like more wants to come out but it never does. A very well made wine, but not mind blowing. ($15)

2004 vintage

Crystal Wines "French Wine Fair" (Crystal Wines) : Nose: A seductive blend of dark chocolate and dark forest fruits. Taste: Bright acid along with a good supple fruit flavours and some secondary notes of lead and tobacco. Good buy for the price!

2004 vintage

Really nice nose of some earth, some bush, blueberry, and fig. This wine is really very nice. I'm trying not to take the price into account, because I paid $15 for this, which really makes it fantastic. Outside of the price though, it's a very nice RB bordeaux that will drink nicely for the next few years. There is a nice tannin presence and enough fruit hanging around that should help this thing survive the next few years. Wish I …

2004 vintage

Non-distinctive nose. Soft earthy light texture; light fruit; short finish.

2004 vintage

Really ripe. Big and rich. Pencil lead. OK.

2004 vintage

Silky smooth and very easy drinking. Not a lot of complexity, just a simple straight forward bordeaux blend. Very pleasant on its own. Would get lost paired with food

2004 vintage

Drank this tonight, funny, even my wife has become used to the left bank, she noticed as she poured her first glass, that it looked thin. As I have found typical of the Right bank, and the St. Emilion region, it is nice, and preferred vs, California, but no comparison to the Left Bank deep cabernet savignon side, I just find them lacking in substance, and without the nuances and complexities of the leftbank. This wine in particular, we rather …

2004 vintage

After uncorking, it displayed strong licorice and cedar on the nose, with some cherry showing through. Upon bottle tasting, it was supple in the mouth, yet the firm, chewy tannins disguised the strengths of wine. So, I decanted this one vigorously, which paid off. It opened up to reveal nice dark cherry flavors with tobacco, and the finish lengthened substantially. It also had a spicy grip (cab. franc), which coupled well with roasted rack of lamb. While the wine was …

2004 vintage

A little better than the reviews would have you think. Bright mildly acidic balance lends balance to fine tannins and cherry fruit on the mid palate. A little short on the finish gets a few points off. An easy drinking wine, good St. Emilion at a very reasonable price. Drink up, it won't get any better in the cellar.

2004 vintage

This wine felt hot and unready to me. Better on 2nd day; 3rd day was however not good. Pretty sure it needs more time.

2004 vintage

Beautiful, dark color and nice body. Pleasant nose and a nice, dark fruit taste with very manageable tannins. Drinking well now. Paired well with spaghetti and meatballs in a garlic, tomato and artichoke sauce.

2004 vintage

Early on, I'd agree with an 87-88 rating, but this really opened up on day two (after air pumped re-cork). Creamy oak, soft tannins, lots of Merlot flavors. A good value.

2004 vintage

NO reason to hold onto if you have one! fruit is muted...lots of tannin. Cheap bordeaux that isn't awful!

2000 vintage

No--I do not like where it comes from. But, politics aside it tastes great. (90)

2000 vintage

Are you sure?
