Tertre Vintage:2014 musky earth and spicecake aromas

musky earth and spicecake aromas show outstanding clarity and pick up a smoky mineral nuance with aeration

since 2003

On the plus side the exceptionally rich and concentrated broad-shouldered flavors possess outstanding amounts of dry extract that impart a velvety texture to the plush finish that is slightly sweet due to the generous wood treatment

later than in other vintages

Tertre Vintage:2014 musky earth and spicecake aromasThe 2010 du Tertre soars out of the glass with blackberry, sous bois and light mint aromas. Good definition here and nicely focused. The palate is medium bodied with supple but quite firm tannins, a welcome sprinkling of cracked black pepper and an off dry finish that feels long and persistent. Superb.
