Château du Tertre
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend
From magnum. Very complex and wild. Red fruit, leather and mineral, with some tobacco leaf. Tannins are melted, this has a sexy texture. There are some woody elements, as well as some VA and Brett, but neither was overwhelming in this particular bottle. A treat.

Mar 2nd, 2016Beautifully developed & poised, perfectly evolved.
Dusty red fruit & red plums, undergrowth, an enticing, fresh minty eucalyptus note, some smokey umami notes. A meditation wine.
So silky & smooth on the palate, with depth & flow. Amazing purity of fruit and mellowness of tannins.
Delicious stuff!!!

Reminded how left bank is not really my style, coz of the strong capsicum flavours prob from the cab franc. Too green for my taste
