Château Teynac
St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Julien, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
2021 vintage. Last tasted 1.7.26 (9.2) and 10.8.25 (9.2). Picked up another case for the resto to have (another) cheap chicken BDX to drive. The St. Julien class shines through in the nose, body and finish. Classy. Still $27.10 a bottle resto cost for now but methinks the current supply predates the tariffs gigglefest. 2.6.26.

Feb 7th, 20262021 vintage. Last tasted 10.8.25 (9.2). Light-medium bod this visit vs medium bod previous go round. Fantastic nose still redolent of dark fruit-infused graphite, blood, night time riverbank mud and dark chocolate-covered cherry. Finish currently that artificial, grapey cough syrup mixed with espresso...a veritable ayahuasca potion flavor (don't ask me how I know) and fairly bitter. Wine all about the approach and handshake vs the actual transaction but still very interesting and worth the super affordable price. Not the biggest BDX so you could easily bounce into Rhône or Burgundy or Bandol to keep the party going. 1.6.26.

Jan 7th, 20262021 vintage. Medium body. Decided, (red) Bordeaux stink stank stunk scents on the nose. Drank a little pretty, drank a little durty. Simply nice St. Julien juice for the price. $27.10 a bottle resto cost. Ridiculous complexity for the price. Picked up a case but may pick up more as this is a personal, cheap chicken, jam stylistically. 10.8.25.
