Since this is a comment 4 years after the last drinker, didn’t know what to expect. Good clarity and nearing a deep brick color. Nose is herby and still surprisingly bright on the palate. Some fruit still lingers but are giving way to more earth and herb characteristics. I’m not sure where it’s going, but a fun one to try in its middle age.

This well stored bottle of Château du Tetre showed rustique notes of flowers, graphite, mushrooms as well as potatos. Still some fruit on the (rather tannic) palate besides tabacco and cedar. With 30years of age, this Margaux delivers quite a classic bordeaux enjoyment. BoW 18/20

Restrained nose, faded fruit, liquorice, marmalade and roasted coffee. Not sure is this a well kept bottle or simply past its peak.

Classic claret notes but gently on the downward slope.

Tea like flavors. Dusty tannins. Expired.
