Aromas of chocolate, sweet cherries, dried herbs, and a hint of tapenade jump from the glass of this medium-bodied, silky, soft, pretty Margaux. Enjoy it over the next 10-12 years.
Lots of evolution at the rim - sweet and biscuity. Reminds me of Tertre. Simply seductive. With a dry finish. Drink 2011 - 2018.
Coffee and liquorice dominate the nose at the moment and there's a similar dark concentration in the mouth but the tannins are fine and fluid giving elegance and real finesse on the long sweet-fruited finish. Oak still quite toasty at the very end. Drink 2010-2022Date tasted 17th Feb 09
The seductive 2004 reveals plenty of black fruits along with more structure and definition than the 2003. Its sweet perfume of flowers, licorice, smoke, and black fruits is followed by a dense, medium-bodied, beautifully pure Margaux to consume between 2008-2018.
The words sexy, seductive, and opulent do not characterize most wines of the 2004 Bordeaux vintage. However, they do describe Du Tertre’s offering, an exotic, nearly flamboyant wine that seduces the taster with its forward display of earthy, herb-tinged cassis and black cherry fruit, round, soft, lush palate, and concentrated, fleshy finish. Even the barrel sample could have been drunk with great pleasure. Enjoy it upon release, and over the following 12-14 years.
