Château Teyssier Grand Cru Classe 2013

This wine is full of black-currant freshness. It is already delicious, crisp while just lit up by tannins. It is developing quickly, with a refreshing character that will make it drinkable from 2017. (92 Points) "An over-achieving estate for a number of years now, this dense purple wine exhibits oodles of creme de cassis and licorice, hints of subtle barbecue smoke and toast, terrific texture and a long, succulent, fleshy finish. It is not all that dissimilar from the 2009 in terms of its flamboyance and drinkability, although I suspect that analytically the pH is slightly lower and the tannins a bit higher than those of its older sibling. This is the biggest production of all the wines from Maltus, hitting nearly 15,000 cases." Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
