Chateau Teyssier Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2020

Kosherwinemusings 2020 Chateau Teyssier, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru – Score: 93+ (QPR: WINNER)

The nose of this wine is ripe, big, bold, and bigger than the 2019 vintage, with black almost blue fruit, blackberry, plum, cassis, blueberry, sweet herbs, smoke, great graphite, tar, roasted herbs, and dense smoke, Bravo! The mouth of this full-bodied wine is lovely and densely mineral-driven, with lovely acidity, incredible graphite, ribbons of charcoal, dense fruit, minerality, sweet oak, and controlled fruit brings this mouthfeel with blackberry, plum, no hint of blue fruit, but that may come with time and loam. The finish is long, dense, and rich, with lovely minerality, graphite, pencil shavings, loam, and rich tar, with hints of tobacco, but what really sticks out is the scraping minerality, fruit, and sweet tannin. Lovely, Bravo!! Drink from 2026 until 2032
