Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 16 Apr 26
The 2016 du Tertre has a pungent nose, leather and dark chocolate intermingled with dark berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, quite fleshy, with a decent thread of acidity, black pepper and clove infusing the nicely structured finish, with a touch of dark chocolate on the aftertaste. Fine. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 08 Dec 22
The 2016 du Tertre has a medium to deep garnet color. It rolls out with expressive scents of black raspberries, warm cassis, and redcurrant jelly, plus hints of tobacco leaf and dried Provencal herbs. Light to medium-bodied, the palate delivers lovely purity, with grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with a quiet intensity.
