critic reviews

92/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

Gentle supple tannins, very much in its drinking window. I have had a better example at the château recently but here it majors on tobacco leaf, brambled blackberry and fig fruits, gentle cumin and rosemary spice. Balanced, fine tannins, tertiary aromatics. Owned in 2009 by Albada Jelgersma family, Alexander van Beek director, 50% new oak for ageing.

88/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2009 du Tertre has a slightly smudged pencil box and autumn bonfire scented bouquet. A little rough-hewn compared to its peers. The palate is better with chewy and quite saturated tannin, plenty of spicy black fruit with sage, white pepper and graphite, leading to a ferrous finish. I have found this Margaux vexing and inconsistent since release. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.
