mainly strawberry

long-term wine that demands some patience but should richly reward it

focused palate is perfectly balanced by a subtle leafy character

some west-facing

and fresh citrus on the palate

Chateau du Tertre, Margaux, France 2010 Monastrell mainly strawberryDeep garnet in color, the 2010 du Tertre sashays out of the glass with pretty notions of black tea, fragrant soil, wilted roses and kirsch over a cassis and blackberry pie core. Medium to full bodied, the palate has bright, vibrant, crunchy fruit with a firm, grainy texture and bags of freshness, finishing with great length and energy. 93 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
