Château du Terte
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend
Margaux, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Monthly WTF wine night with a theme of “something to impress”. As always, wines were tasted blind.
When this was revealed, I was shocked at how open for business this is right now. I guessed young Left Bank Bordeaux. It was juicy and ripe without being overblown. Very red and black fruit dominant, with a touch of herbs down the middle. Zero leather. Black tea, underripe black cherry and cassis on the palate. Thanks, @Will Adams .

Plum. Black fruit. Cassis. Pencil lead. Wonderful bottle age.

Riper style than expected. Drinking well but has time ahead of it. Shows the power and concentration of the 2005 vintage

Not sure if it’s the year or the wine but it’s good. Plush on the front end with nice plum and and some acidity on the back. Enjoyable because it’s approachable now but will evolve well for next 10.

Very savoury and developed but still very fresh and very much alive. Will go on for another decade at least.
