WTN: 2005 Chateau du Tertre

by David M. Bueker » Thu Feb 19, 2015 4:46 pm

By the glass pour in the Emirates Business Class lounge in Dubai. This is shockingly good. It is quite mellow, but carries a finishing backbone. The fruit is strong but not overripe. There is more than a little oak, but there is so much fruit that age will bring even greater balance. I really like this. I'm not as sensitive to oak as I was before 2010, so drinking this now is actually quite a pleasure. I am sure it will be even better in 10 more years, but it won't be a complimentary pour!
