Lot #32. Teyssier les Asteries 2009

Description: Consists of 12 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 98 RP.
"From vines sitting on hard limestone, this wine is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc that offers prodigious levels of extract, richness, complexity and overall harmony. A fabulous wine, with black fruits galore intermixed with a liqueur of crushed rocks and spring flowers, the wine has plenty of tannin and is best cellared over at least 4-5 years and consumed over the following two decades. This property, owned by Jonathan Maltus, is located 100 meters from his Le Carre, and of course the nearby Clos Fourtet, which produced a perfect wine in 2009." Wine Advocate #199, Feb 2012
Provenance: The Pousse Cellar
Notes: 5 Nicked capsules, lightly scuffed labels, 2 different importers.
