Chateau du Tertre, Margaux, France 2010 Monastrell long-term wine that demands some

long-term wine that demands some patience but should richly reward it

the vineyard produces low yielding small berry clusters with intense color

The nose discovers a subtle fruity fragrance

one-third in foudre and one-third in 600-liter barrels

Chateau du Tertre, Margaux, France 2010 Monastrell long-term wine that demands someDeep 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. 93 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
