Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 May 04
Red-ruby. Nose dominated by smoky, nutty oak. Then broad and dry in the mouth, with considerable fat. Seems closer in style to the 2003 than to the 2002. Finishes with substantial tannins and subtle, lingering red fruit, tobacco and nutskin flavors.

Mid ruby with development. Bloody/meaty without much fruit in the middle – yet. Hard work! Dry as dust on the finish. This is the top offering from Ch Teyssier. (JR)

Bordeaux

Red Bordeaux, globally renowned, is crafted in France’s Bordeaux region from grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. These full-bodied wines feature dark fruit flavours, earthy and spicy notes, and often benefit from ageing. Top producers include Château Margaux, Château Latour, and Château Lafite Rothschild. White Bordeaux, made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, offers styles from crisp to rich, with citrus and tropical notes. Sweet Bordeaux wines, like Sauternes, are famed for their rich sweetness and flavours of apricot and honey, with Château d’Yquem as a leading producer.
