Lots of evolution at the rim – sweet and biscuity. Reminds me of Tertre. Simply seductive. With a dry finish. (JR)
Coffee and liquorice dominate the nose at the moment and there’s a similar dark concentration in the mouth but the tannins are fine and fluid giving elegance and real finesse on the long sweet-fruited finish. Oak still quite toasty at the very end. (JH)
Aromas of chocolate, sweet cherries, dried herbs, and a hint of tapenade jump from the glass of this medium-bodied, silky, soft, pretty Margaux. Enjoy it over the next 10-12 years.
About the producer
Until recently owned by the Albada Jelgersma family (along with Giscours), Ch. du Tertre is one of the oldest estates in the region – with a history stretching back 1,000 years. Classified as a Fifth Growth, its 54 hectares of vines sit on high gravel outcrops in Margaux.
