CHATEAU DU TERTRE 5ieme Cru Classe Margaux 2017 Bottle (los)

Description

THE WINE ADVOCATE Rating: 89-91 points - "Medium garnet-purple colored and composed of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2017 du Tertre gives expressive notes of black berries and cassis with pencil lead, bay leaves and lavender hints. The palate is medium-bodied with a good core of open-knit fruit and plush tannins lifted with great freshness, finishing on a perfumed note."
DECANTER MAGAZINE - 91 points - "This is a little softer in expression than the intense delivery of the past two vintages, but still has extremely well-expressed red and black fruits, layered together with grilled coffee and almond notes. It has silky tannins and an injection of juice through the mid-palate. Classic Margaux character. Drinking Window 2025 - 2040."
