  March 8, 2024 - Zwart fruit, kruidig met mooie afdronk. Niet fluweelzacht maar toch aangenaam in de mond. 2015 is al a boire!

  July 13, 2023 - Slow ox’ed for 2 hours. Refined nose of black currants and blackberry paste. Medium acidity, minerally, fruit at the forefront but they are elegant; black currants mostly, but also dark cherries and white pepper, with some raw green olives notes too. Medium tannins - not intrusive at all - and medium long ending with some oak and menthol notes.
  
  Drink now but will likely improve with more time; good QPR and all the refined typicity of Margaux in my opinion, although not the most refined of wines.
  
  P.S.
  - Much better on day 2. Nose more more open, body felt fuller, with cherries and black currants but also hints of mulberries and warm spice. Still primary, but more expressive. Moral of the story: let it breathe, a lot!

  February 12, 2023 - PnP. Drank with friends before dinner. Was open and enjoyable right away. A little more oak than I prefer but it was elegant and harmonious with the red and black fruit. Excellent wine.

  January 25, 2023 - The Chateau Tertre 2015 delivers on both fronts. The bouquet is well-defined, with distinct red and dark fruit notes and a subtle hint of violets. The tannins are smooth and polished, providing a satisfying mouthfeel. The finish is medium-long and spicy, adding an extra layer of complexity. Additionally, it opened up beautifully after a 2 hour double decant, revealing even more complexity and depth of flavour.
  
  When it comes to value, this wine is a great pick. The price-quality ratio is spot on and I would recommend if you have few bottles to drink some now and hold some for the next decade or more. As it ages, it will continue to evolve and provide pleasure for many years to come. Overall, a solid choice for any Margaux lover looking for a wine that offers both immediate enjoyment and long-term aging potential. 92+

  October 6, 2022 - These 2015 lesser Bordeaux are delicious! They may regenerate interest in Bordeaux, as have some of the wonderful Cru Bourgeois. Recent bottles of DuGlana, this 375 and a very auspicious La Chapelle de Les Mission HB all augur nicely for the vintage but also for the region’s excellent range of wines from the sublime to just deeply enjoyable and interest- worthy bottles like this. Decanted briefly. Just delicious classic Margaux profile with no pretension of red robe royalty, but rather woody deep black currant,rich soil- driven cherry, and a host of forest hints.
