James Suckling 91pt

Loads of tobacco and prune character. Rich and decadent. Full body with velvety tannins and a juicy, delicious finish. Just opening now. Improving with age.

Vinous Media 92pt

Deep ruby to the rim; much darker than both the 2001 and the 2003. Notes of milk chocolate, underbrush and cedar complicate the ripe red cherry and dark plum aromas. Enters sweet, dense and tactile, displaying ripe dark fruit, tobacco, porcini and mineral flavors of noteworthy precision and cut thanks to harmonious acidity. Finishes sweet, spicy, smooth and very long; once again, du Tertre comes across as remarkably fresh and focused in a hot vintage.

Wine Advocate 91pt

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!

Tasting Notes

This wine has a shimmering deep garnet colour that is still not very evolved. The nose is very intense and complex, with woody notes of cedar and beeswax. This complexity also develops with notes of blackcurrant liqueur, blackberries and dried fruit. Very fresh attack, the tannins are tight and extremely fine, notes of cherry brandy emerge in a very elegant structure continuing with good length. Overall the wine is very balanced and has tremendous finesse. The finish is characterized by notes of dried fruit and berry preserves. Made with 35% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, this wine is very pleasant to drink now or could be kept for another 15 to 20 years.
