A plush and flattering style, with beguiling toast wound around a smoldering core of warm plum confiture, dark cherry and currant fruit, and buried hints of charcoal and espresso. Displays a polished finish overall. A hint of warm paving stone lurks in the background. Best from 2014 through 2026. WS
Chateau du Tertre Margaux 5eme Cru 1998 (Ex Chateau 2023)
A sleeper of the vintage, this excellent Du Tertre is reminiscent of this estate's fine 1979. Sweet aromas of black cherry jam infused with creosote and grilled notes emerge from this dark plum/ruby/purple-colored 1998. Fragrant, with an expansive, rich personality. RP

Chateau du Tertre Margaux 5eme Cru 2008 (Ex Chateau 2023)
On the firm side, with cedar and iron notes holding back the core of mulled cherry and plum fruit. Picks up bay leaf and lilac flavors on the taut, but persistent, finish. WS
