June 29, 2023 - Top wine of Chateau Teyssier, made from single vineyard planted in 1960-70, neighbour of Chateau Angelus. The only blend from portfolio based on CF, 20% Merlot. Deep garnet, ruby touch. Pronounced, rich & complex aroma of toasted herbs, raspberries, prunes, dried wild strawberries, toast, dried earth, leather, spices, tobacco. Medium+ body, well structured, silky textured, complex and layered flavours of fresh and dried fruits, leathery and spice notes, firm and high fine tannins, long finish with smoky touches.

March 12, 2023 - My first experience with this wine. Holy shit.
Color. Dark crimson red
Nose. Dense brooding fruit. Lots of blackberries and dark cherries. Clove, cinnamon, cardamom, fennel, ... so amazing. Kirsch. Gardenia and elevated floral characteristics.
Palate. Intense mouth feel. Bursting with fruit(first time I have said that) explosive mouth feel. Amazing red and dark purple fruits. Tannins and acidity are perfect. The finish just lasts and lasts.1 person found this helpful Comment -

November 5, 2022 - Decanter Fine Wine Encounter (The Landmark, London): Fresh blackcurrant and red currant, sweet spice, smells 'fresh'. Pretty nose. Medium plus intensity acidity, juicy, tangy fruit up from, fresh, tannins are dialled back, controlled, balanced, very slightly hard but this is rather splendid, bit yummy

March 24, 2022 - Never realised a wine could have 80% Cab Franc, this is quite a boutique right bank offering, and has a dense purple colour with blackfruit notes. Surprisingly ready to drink and so elegant too. Lovely!
What a surprise, bro @[1|9482449|Mika Tyson Teau] popped this freshly delivered Le Dome Saint-Émilion 2012 for us back to back after his incredible Mazerat 2010.
A superb evening of fun at Butchers Table, sure felt a lot more serious with the finely curated wines at our "Happy hour".

March 13, 2022 - Nose of dark fruits, rubber, and some floral notes. Dusty black fruit palate with dark minerals, graphite, black pepper, iron, and pewter notes. More iron and pewter on the finish, followed by black plum and licorice riding on plump tannins with lots of minerally earth as a finale.
