Item No. 114086

red wine style:

winemaker's notes:

Bright, very pure, clear color; fine, complex mineral nose and slightly spicy. The palate is well structured with fine, precise, tight tannins. The wood is still noticeable and produces a long, very tight finish. Notes of dried fruit and candied red fruit combine to create a very elegant palate in this vintage that is particularly characteristic of the Margaux appellation. The mid-palate is powerful and sleek, developing flavours of strawberry and cooked plums, delicately wrapped in chocolate and a subtle woodiness. The concentrated finish is still very tight and needs another ten years to mature.

critical acclaim:

"Well balanced wine, the spiced wood integrating well with the rich plum and berry juice fruits. Firm, but generous.

Wine Enthusiast

"A very sexy, seductive style of wine has been produced by Du Tertre in 2009. A dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by ripe notes of red and black fruits intermixed with subtle smoke, ink, and damp earth. The lusciousness continues on the palate with an opulent, layered, rich mouthfeel. Medium to full-bodied with not a hard edge to be found, but plenty of ripe tannins, the overall impression is one of a hedonistic and intellectually pleasing claret that should drink beautifully for 20+ years. This is a sleeper of the vintage among the classified-growths.

The Wine Advocate

"Quite perfumy at first, with lilac, damson plum and singed bay leaf notes up front, followed by darker yet still caressing steeped black cherry, worn leather and espresso notes on the back end. Best from 2013 through 2023."

Wine Spectator

"Bright ruby-red. Cassis, red plum, tobacco leaf, minerals and spices on the nose, lifted by a floral topnote. Silky, suave and elegantly styled; not a particularly opulent wine but nicely polished and balanced, and already offering a lovely perfumed character. Finishes firmly tannic, spicy and long, with harmonious acidity contributing to the impression of class. A terrific vintage for this property."
