A very successful effort in a difficult vintage, Tertre Roteboeuf’s 1994 shows a dark plum/ruby color with no lightening at the edge. A nose of roasted herbs intermixed with black cherry, plum, fig, and currant also has a hint of chocolate and earth. Medium-bodied, with ripe but noticeable tannin, excellent definition, and fine purity, this is a nice, weighty, rich, surprisingly strong effort from Tertre Roteboeuf.
Intense aromas of plums and spices. Medium- to full-bodied, with round, velvety tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Flavor-intense, with masses of toasted oak. New World-style Bordeaux.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
