Description

70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot.

Best ever! A bold statement? Perhaps, but we have been going here to taste for many years, and it just gets better every year. Always soft, round and ripe, the team has brought it to another level. Lovely crushed raspberry and cream on the nose and a deliciously velvety mouthful, like cold raspberry ripple ice cream on warm summer pudding. It's a consistent quality that you can always rely on. Delicious!

Reserved, with finely carved architecture, captures Margaux appellation typicity, starting to open up but not fully in its drinking window yet, has plenty of time ahead. Feathered hedgerow brambled strawberry and blackberry fruits, with tighter kick of cassis and bitter black chocolate coming in through the mid palate. Good stuff.

Deep garnet in color, the 2010 du Tertre sashays out of the glass with pretty notions of black tea, fragrant soil, wilted roses and kirsch over a cassis and blackberry pie core. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has bright, vibrant, crunchy fruit with a firm, grainy texture and bags of freshness, finishing with great length and energy.

The 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. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal.

From Bordeaux to California, Tuscany to Coonawarra, Cabernet Sauvignon thrives in diverse terroirs—delivering wines of remarkable character wherever it’s grown.

Margaux

If Pauillac is the bastion of ‘traditional’ Red Bordeaux, Margaux represents its other facet in producing wines that are some of the region’s most sensual and alluring. The largest commune in the Médoc, it encompasses the communes of Cantenac, Soussans, Arsac and Labaude, in addition to the village of Margaux itself. Its finest examples are paragons of refinement and subtlety which have few parallels in Bordeaux.
