Aufhellendes Granat mit mittlerer Dichte, feiner Rand. Eher kühler Ansatz, Johannisbeeren und blättrige Nuancen drin, er zeigt aber auch eine schöne Würze. Im Gaumen frisch, geradlinig, die Muskeln sind bereits im Extrakt eingebettet, endet leicht dropsig und gehört in die geniesserische Margauxkiste.

Lilac and singed sandalwood notes lead the way here, though this fleshes out steadily throughout, with the core of plum, currant and blackberry fruit melding with accents of juniper and warm stone on the finish. Well-embedded acidity gives this latent length and drive. Best from 2019 through 2028. 10,000 cases made.

The 2014 Du Tertre has a light blackberry and raspberry scented bouquet with a noticeable undergrowth element that I was not anticipating. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. There is not enormous weight or body here, but it is certainly balanced with neatly integrated oak towards the poised finish. Probably an earlier-drinking Margaux to enjoy over the next 10-12 years. Maybe I was just expecting a little more substance in view of its showing in barrel, nevertheless it is still a respectable 2014 from Alexandre van Beek and his team.<br/>

Château du Tertre
Perhaps one of the most overlooked Classified Growths in Margaux, Château du Tertre has remained true to their historic roots. Stretching over 52-hectares, the thousand-year-old estate sits amongst the highest Margaux terroirs, with the most elevated gravel land in Médoc planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Quite recently, the 1855 Classified château was acquired by a Dutch businessman, Eric Albada Jelgersma in 1997. After thoroughly investing in the winery and vineyards, Château du Tertre has consistently produced one of the most perfumed Margaux reds, some even rival its similarly owned sister winery, Château Giscours. The estate’s Grand Vin, Du Tertre has quite a great vocation for ageing, building in complexity with each year of cellaring. As an elegant blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the flagship is an excellent reflection of this château’s exceptional terroir.
