2000 du Tertre - Margaux, Bordeaux, France

2000 Chateau du Tertre
Luminous and splendid hue, hardly evolved.
2000 du Tertre has a splendid cedarwood nose, cigar box and red ripe fruits aromas. Elegant and fruity structure. Full bodied and well balanced with a beautiful finish. A distinguished and accessible wine. A great Price to Quality deal. 89/100. (Tasted by Fred Godin for ccvo-bg)

2001 du Tertre - Margaux, Bordeaux, France

2007 April -  The nose is closed and clearly oak-dominated. Balsamic touch and bacon aromas.
Full bodied and concentrated - silky round and intense with notes of roasted meat. Moderately firm tannins and a fruity - smoky - toasty long finish. The finish only lacks a bit of elegance, at least at this stage of evolution. I’m convinced that 2001 Du Tertre will become an excellent Bordeaux in 5-8 years time.
