Château du Tertre 2019 – Margaux 5ème Grand Cru Classé

The nose is fruity, fresh and offers some power, fine concentration, depth and intensity. There are notes of crunchy wild blackberry, raspberry and more slightly pulpy red berries combined with fine hints of violet, zan, and discrete hints of almost crushed blue berries, camphor, cardamom, pepper and a subtle sapiness. The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, smoothness, nice definition, precision, tension and acidity. A flattering/gourmet quality of the texture. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy cherry, pulpy/juicy strawberry and more slightly crushed red currant combined with hints of juicy/fresh plum, a touch of blackcurrant, fine hints of racy minerality, star anise, chocolate, toasted almond as well as a subtle hint of toasted hazelnut and a very discreet almost mentholated finish. Powerful finish.
