Hints of plum, berry and cedar follow through to a medium body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Drink now.

Proprietor Jonathan Malthus has produced a 2013 Teyssier displaying an easygoing, fruit-forward personality with fresh, herbaceously-tinged red cherry and slightly blacker cherry fruit. A blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, its medium body and soft tannins suggest it is best consumed over the next 3-4 years.

(70 Merlot, 30 Cabernet Franc) 12.7% alcohol. There are 12000 cases of this wine made – which makes the flavour and score even more impressive. The pristine, juicy blackberry fruit and forward, attractive air makes this wine immediately appealing. It will evolve and age but it is in perfect equilibrium already. Great touches of oak and crunchy tannins enhance the juiciness.

70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc. Svelte blackcurrant, violet and chocolate character, very plump and plush. Slight bitterness to finish, but not in an underripe way. Quite warm on the finish.

The 2013 Teyssier is soft, silky and very nicely balanced. Sweet tobacco, new leather, spices and dark fruit meld together in a soft, supple red with plenty of near-term appeal. There is a lot to like in this textured mid-weight red. The Teyssier is an excellent introduction to the Jonathan Maltus's house style. The blend is 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc.

St-Emilion's biggest 'brand'. Lighter in weight but accent on the fruit.  Slightly chalky tannins

The Teyssier 2013 is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. The nose is well defined with succulent red berry fruit, iodine and cassis that betray the challenging vintage. The palate is marked by quite high acidity, a touch pinched with a noticeable saltiness towards the finish.

A wine with dark berry and hints of shaved chocolate. Medium body with polished tannins and a fresh finish.

Open, with a charming edge to the cherry and pomegranate fruit, backed by pretty sandalwood and tea notes. Crunchy acidity carries the finish. —J.M.

This wine is ripe and very fruity, with firm tannins based around spice, toast and acidity. The core of black currant character comes through strongly.
