Second wine of chateau du Tertre, a blend of 43% CS, 33% Merlot, 19% CF and 5% PV. Medium+ garnet red colour. Medium intensity aroma of cherries, cranberries, earth, plums, smoke, meaty nuances, hints of vanilla. Medium body, fresh attack with vibrant acidity and silky texture, red and black fruit flavours with mild mineral notes, velvety tannins, medium short finish.

Only had a couple of glasses at a group dinner, but this impressed again and was the groups No 1 wine of the night. Did seem a little more austere in comparison to the 12 however. Good, but strong preference for the 2012.

Surprised by the low scores here as I thought this was lovely. Strawberry's give way to a long finish of vanilla infused with leather. Medium bodied but with great balance of acidity and tannins. There is a lightness to this but coupled with a lovely, silky finesse. If only I could get this at a decent price.

Drinks well, but seems a bit more austere and disjointed than the 2012. The cab franc and vanilla are really poking out right now

Liked it needed time to even out early a little green taste. With time green taste dissipated
