2018 Château Teyssier, Montagne-St Emilion, Bordeaux

What can be thought of as the entry-level Cuvée from Teyssier, the 2018 Château Teyssier is a sleeper in the vintage, offering a great perfume of blueberries, wildflowers, candied orange, and Asian spices, with a touch of chalky minerality on the finish. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and beautifully textured on the palate, it's a gorgeous, already impossible-to-resist Saint-Emilion to enjoy over the coming decade. It's the finest vintage I've tasted for this release.
