Château Teyssier
Le Dôme Saint-Emilion Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
I’ve been a little bit on a Bordeaux thing recently, and wanted to pop this for a weekend dinner. It’s really nice. Inviting nose draws you in with sweet dark berry fruit, a bit of graphite and gravel, and some sweet vanillin. So soft, mouthfilling, yet not heavy. Flavors are clingy and have a dense savory streak, but there is nice fruit still underneath. Still some tannin present. No rush on this but it’s really nice now.

Really good. More Napa than Bordeaux in my mind. Medium plus depth with dark fruit and some cedar with tobacco. Really enjoyed this!

Wonderful mature Bordeaux. 2104 vintage. Pairing wonderfully with a bone in filet.
