A dense purple color is followed by layers of concentrated blackberry fruit intertwined with damp earth, mushroom, and sweet, toasty barrique smells. With ripe tannin, medium to full body, a layered texture, and a concentrated, impressively endowed finish, this is the finest Du Tertre since their 1979. This is a property on the move ... up!
Smoky and rich, with berry and meaty aromas. Full-bodied, with firm tannins and a slightly tart finish. Needs time to come together. Good effort.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
