2005 Château du Tertre, Cru Classé Margaux
Comprises 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Scents of bright brambly fruit steeped with cinnamon. Displays volume and concentration but with a sumptuous, cushioned texture and combines structure with textbook margaux flair, elegance and charm. A flattering du Tertre with a sensuous lacy feel. Proprietor Eric Albada Jelgersma’s purchase of the property (and Giscours) has raised the profile of this estate and lifted quality to its best ever levels. A delightful du Tertre that is strongly recommended.
