Wine Advocate #146 Apr 2003 Rating:91points Drink:2004-2018
A dense purple color is followed by layers of concentrated blackberry fruit intertwined with damp earth, mushroom, and sweet, toasty barrique smells. With ripe tannin, medium to full body, a layered texture, and a concentrated, impressively endowed finish, this is the finest Du Tertre since their 1979. This is a property on the move ... up! Anticipated maturity: 2004-2018. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator: Mar 31, 2003 Score: 89
Smoky and rich, with berry and meaty aromas. Full-bodied, with firm tannins and a slightly tart finish. Needs time to come together. Good effort. Best after 2006. 16,665 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Deep colour, rich and ripe, lots of rich Cabernet fruit, very elegant Margaux style, very attractively balanced, there has been great progress here in the late 90s. Ready 2006-2015. (tasted en primeur) |
