Chateau Teyssier 2005
Saint Emilion Grand Cru, Bordeaux, France. Merlot, Cabernet franc. 14% alcohol. Cork. Approx $A35 for a half bottle.
Manages to smell soft and cuddly whilst in the mouth it is firm and assertive.
Bacon fat, tobacco, black olives and cassis. There's nothing sharp, green or ungainly about this. In the mouth it is well paced, rounded, soft and inviting before excellent creamy tannins unfurl and envelop. There's a pleasing persistence as well as a graphite and meaty edge to the finish. Simultaneously serious and delicious.
Very good - Excellent.

Very good description. I tasted this wine on Sunday at a wine festival here in Ohio and it was among my favorites. There were several 2005 Bordeaux wines and I liked all of them.
Dan,
I read with envy about your Sunday food and wine festival. We have something similar in Perth, but only with a restricted range of local wines.
Thanks for buying this wine. I'm the winemaker and I'm glad you enjoyed it. If you get a chance, please try some of my other wines from Saint Emilion or from our property in the Barossa - 'The Colonial Estate'.
Jonathon,
Your wine was very well received in Dayton, Ohio, USA. I was with a group of four people and one of them had it as his favorite of the day. It's a very nice wine, and one that I can still afford to buy - and that makes it even better.
Edward,
It's a great event and one I look forward to each year.
Jonathon,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and thanks for making such a delicious wine!
