"Full red-ruby. Aromas of dark berries, licorice and bitter chocolate, with hints of herbs and mint. Sweet on entry, then primary in the middle, even a bit inky and unformed. But this boasts a surprisingly pliant texture and finishes with rather soft, dusty tannins." -Stephen Tanzer

"Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London and then blind at Farr's horizontal, the 2006 Château du Tertre has a loose-knit bouquet with earthy, slightly dour red berry fruit that need more vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannin, balanced but it seems like a wine that has run out of ideas and does not know where to go. Tasted around the same time as the excellent 2015, I would hedge my money against the more recent vintage and wait! Alternatively, there are several other vintages that have performed better in recent years. Tasted April 2016." -Neal Martin

"Barrel sample. A balanced, structured wine which brings its structure into play with the rich, but fresh fruit. The wine has good acidity, as well as some tense tannins."
