2005 Château du Tertre, Margaux, Bordeaux

Description

This is very Margaux in style, and also quite powerful and modern. The Cabernet Franc was particularly good this year - and very ripe - and there is an unusually large percentage in the blend. An intense, exotic almost Port-like nose leads on to a palate with rich fruitcake flavours, sweet, concentrated raspberries and cream and hints of chocolate. The finish is sexy, rounded and mouthwatering and made in a way that you don't want to end. There is 15% less of the 2005 than the 2004, with the yield down to a mean 42hl/ha, and for the price, this is a must.

Critics reviews

Robert Parker 90/100
This attractive deep ruby/plum/purple wine is supple, with notes of loamy soil, earth, underbrush and black and red currants. Very fragrant and medium-bodied, with relatively sweet tannin, this wine should continue to drink well for another 10-15+ years. Robert M.
