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. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Quite toasty, with fig and plum sauce notes laced with hints of prune, bittersweet cocoa and pudding. Dark and fleshy through the finish, with enough graphite peaking through for definition. Best from 2013 through 2019. – JM
