Tasting Notes
Vinous 87
Bright red-ruby. Floral redcurrant, red cherry and pungent herbs on the nose and in the mouth. Gently sweet and smooth, with subtle licorice nuances building with air through the straightforward, moderately persistent, youthfully tannic finish.
Robert Parker 88
A seductive 2011, Du Tertre exhibits a dense purple color along with an attractive, fragrant, flowery nose of red and black fruits, licorice and a touch of earth. With good texture, medium body, an excellent finish, and no hard edges, it can be enjoyed over the next 10-15 years.

Dark crimson. Spicy nose – even a hint of cinnamon! Light and angular. Pleasant enough but not top drawer. A bit astringent on the end.
