2019 du Tertre (Margaux)
Secondary Description
Fleshy, meaty, with blackcherry and hedgerow fruit, then an intense tobacco-leaf note - there`s an unusually pungent cigar box here. Medium bodied, nice finesse, tannins not too tough. Attractive, characterful and aromatically-complex. (NT 08/06/20)

Jane Anson
A beautifully elegant and expressive Margaux that has sappy fruit with clear salinity and minerality on the finish. Pretty serious in its structure but subtly so, it takes its time to unfurl and has an upward lift through the palate. Violet rim to the colour and the austerity speaks to energy that will help power it to long life. 6% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 92 points

Displaying a deep garnet-purple color, the 2019 du Tertre opens with notes of stewed plums, bouquet garni, graphite and warm cassis plus hints of cast-iron pan and cardamom. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing and juicy with a slight chewiness from the tannins and an herbal lift on the finish. 87-89 points
