This is the third vintage (1989 and 1990 were the other two) where Le Tertre-Roteboeuf exhibits a Le Pin-like exotic richness and opulence. The wine exhibits a dense ruby/purple color, and a compelling set of aromatics consisting of pain grille, ripe black cherry and cassis fruit, intermixed with truffles, mocha, and toffee. Dense and full-bodied, with layers of intensely ripe fruit, this plump, gorgeously pure, expansively flavored, multidimensional wine is even better out of bottle than it was in cask.
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.
