Sweet toastiness. Supple. A bit too easy? (JR)
The deep dark ruby-colored 1999 is an excellent du Tertre. It exhibits aromas of herbs, leather, licorice, red and black currants, sweet fruit on the attack, medium body, and a round, charming, pretty finish. Enjoy it now and over the next 10-12 years.
