Saturday, March 12, 2022 - Du Tertre has come a long way from its country-bumkin past, where really it belonged more to Listrac than Margaux in style. This is a soft and aromatic wine, with wonderful mouth-feel of a medley of dark and sweet fruit.
It seems in terms of maturation already here. How is this possible? I wonder did a new style of wine making come in after 2009, where tannin was kept to a minimum and fruit allowed to dominate? This is certainly my experience with recent Medoc vintages.
And is there something missing in these wines? Yes, a certain lack of depth, and perhaps structure.
But they are very nice to drink.
