Plump, round, very much in the recent du Tertre idiom, with oak evident. Dark power of voluminous fruit on the finish, but a bit blunt. Rating: 89 L&S (Apr 2012)

Bright red-ruby. Floral redcurrant, red cherry and pungent herbs on the nose and in the mouth. Gently sweet and smooth, with subtle licorice nuances building with air through the straightforward, moderately persistent, youthfully tannic finish.

This blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot is somewhat closed, with high acidity and noticeable austerity. The color is a healthy dark ruby/purple and the wine exhibits notes of damp earth, tobacco leaf, sweet and sour cherries and loamy soil undertones. Drink it over the next decade. 2012 - 2022 Rating: 85-87 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, www.RobertParker.com (Apr 2012)

The du Tertre is a blend of 10% Merlot, 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot and 20% Cabernet Franc (a high percentage) picked from 8th to 27th September. I actually left my sample glass to unwind over 10 minutes at it made a huge difference. The nose offers ripe blackberry and raspberry fruit, well integrated oak and some lovely orange blossom aromas with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a plush, rounded entry. It has slightly lower acidity than its peers but is very sensual with supple fresh strawberry and raspberry towards the finish. Very fine. Rating: 89-91 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Apr 2012)
