Château Teynac
St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Julien, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
2017 vintage. One of the rare non-classified Saint-Juliens. A very successful wine for a vintage that was a mixed bag, but also underrated for the good wines. Black fruits and a hint of vanilla, medium-bodied, juicy, and fresh, with velvety tannins and good length. Nice value too. Well worth seeking out. Abv. 13%.

Very elegant, posiedzę and aetheric.
Very fresh with crunchy, fresh black currant, dark plum but also cigar, leather, undergrowth, and a hint of menthol towards the finish.
Light to medium bodied on the palate, still very fresh with bright acidity and juicy tannins. Brilliant mid-palate with the plums shining. Add some dried herbs, just a hint of cassis. Brilliantly balanced & poised and very elegant. Probably peaking right now.
Totally unexpected from a not so well known Chateau. Lovely!

Very nice classic StJ from a somewhat “lesser” chateau I haven’t had before. Still quite nice - some good minerality, medium tannins, etc. Not overly complex or anything but still a good pairing with seared skirt steak.
