Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 10, 2011 - I’ve been reading about the winemaking of Jonathan Maltus for a while and have been wanting to try his wines. This, his Grand vin – Chateau Teyssier – does not disappoint. Dark red-purple color. Aromas of blackberries and spice. Medium-bodied palate yields cherry, spice, light oak, and a light earthiness. Moderate tannins. Medium-short finish. Definitely Merlot-centric in character. Terrific QPR when priced around $15. Tasted in-flight on American Airlines; paired quite well with a chateaubriand topped with a green peppercorn sauce. This will certainly benefit from additional time in the bottle and a more proper tasting environment, but it’s definitely one of the finer in-flight Bordeaux offerings for a domestic carrier.
