Showed quite rich and reticent which I didn't expect. Deep black current and back raspberry fruit. Showed some menthol and eucalyptus in the finish. I saved some for a second night as giving it a short decant seemed to open it up. It lost some of the fruit on the 2nd night, but gained in earthy complexity which was another nice take on it. A decent experience for 94 which has been solid for me from the right bank.

Dégustation verticale du Tertre Rôteboeuf: Couleur brunâtre. Un nez de sous-bois, avec cuir et truffes, mais un côté un peu poussiéreux qui lui fait perdre en charme. Registre plutôt tertiaire et de style plus sévère. Il paraît manque un peu de chair autour de l’os, mais c’est fin et élégant. Belle longueur, mais un style austère pour le cru. 89-90 pts
Pas au niveau des 1992 et 1997, autres "petits" millésimes.

Still very fresh at 24 years of age and delicious with the excellent food at Jaxson Restaurant. Just a touch less rich and complex than the 6/24/14 bottle.

Lots of beautiful earthy richness on the nose. Opened up nicely. Still some pleasant tannins. Hints of rich plum. Wonderful with rack of lamb
