    July 12, 2017 - With a mature color showing ruby with tea accents, the wine is medium bodied, with an earthy, spicy, truffle and red berry character. Light, silky, bright and spicy, with a light, fresh, peppery, red berry character in its finish. This is fully mature and requires drinking. From a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, this is the debut vintage produced in the new, modern cellars.

    October 12, 2014 - Belle couleur grenat tuilée. Assez lourd. Larmes moyennes. Semble un peu clair.
    Joli nez composé de fruits frais (groseilles maquereau et cerises), de violette et d'épices (poivre) sur un fond de bois bien intégré.
    Attaque très douce qui laisse apparaître rapidement un fruit abondant (cassis, cerise et fraise). Mélange de fruits complexe et très intéressant mais un vin qui manque malheureusement cruellement de matière ce qui endommage la structure.
    Absolument pas désagréable à boire, mais ne peut prétendre au rang de 5ième cru dans ce millésime. Meilleur avec 1.5 h de carafage.

    December 29, 2012 - En accompagnement d'une gigue de chevreuil sauce grand veneur.

    60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot et 10% Cabernet Franc
    Belle robe avec une légère trace d'évolution, de belles larmes s'écoule le long du verre
    nez sur le tabac blond, le cèdre
    bouche longue et fine avec de la matière
    Très belle bouteille

    June 20, 2012 - an excellent wine- Tertre never disappoints-excellent quality for price even nowadays - still fresh, elegant tanin and still good acidity balance -typical margaux , dark fruit can be kept few more years

    January 30, 2012 - Just starting to wane slightly, but still close to top form, this has acquired good Margaux typicity, whereas in its youth it was a bit too fruity and facile. Elegant, sweet, but with good persistence: very satisfying
