Tertre Vintage:2008 drought-driven growing season

drought-driven growing season

intense and tension-filled full-bodied flavors that possess excellent power and drive on the seductively textured

which displays pronounced undergrowth and sage-like aromas but is not quite endowed with the energy of the excellent Saint-Juliens

but it has been a fun ride since release

exotic spices and dark fruit add to the wine's total allure and seductive power

Tertre Vintage:2008 drought-driven growing seasonThe 2010 du Tertre soars out of the glass with blackberry, sous bois and light mint aromas. Good definition here and nicely focused. The palate is medium bodied with supple but quite firm tannins, a welcome sprinkling of cracked black pepper and an off dry finish that feels long and persistent. Superb.
