Decanted for 1hr. Seductive margaux nose. Really sweet, plump, brambley fruit. Lots of spice, cedar and vanilla on the finish. But the sweet fruit steals the show. Excellent. Never had a bad du tertre and thankfully it remains great value.

Straight from bottle and drunk half over 3hrs. I am really struggling for positives with this wine. Very little on the nose and nothing much going on with the palate. This is my second (and thankfully last) bottle of this vintage and the first wasn't any better. Clearly a great producer at the top end but that class wasn't showing here.

First bottle from case bought en primeur. Decanted for 2 hours. Lots of earth and oak to begin with but after another hour or so all the components began to integrate well. Retained some st estephe typicity but in a rather aristocratic way - polished tannins and a streak of acidity keeping it all in balance. Overall a good showing for the vintage but it needs some time and air to come around at the moment.
