Vinous - Score: 90 (2012 July)

(merlot with some cabernet franc): Bright ruby-red. Lively, slightly medicinal aromas of cassis, blackberry, licorice and flowers. Supple, sweet and nicely concentrated, with intense primary dark berry flavors showing excellent focus. Finishes with suave tannins, very good length and a lightly medicinal herbal quality. The best Teyssier to date by a clear margin.
