Tertre Roteboeuf 2010 (1.5L)

92+ Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2010 Le Tertre Rôteboeuf has an impressive bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit, melted tar on a hot summer day, warm gravel and allspice. This exhibits very fine delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, a little toasty towards the finish where the oak seems to obscure the terroir and fruit expression, even after ten years. Hopefully that will be addressed with further cellaring because otherwise this is a fine Right Bank. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal." 04/20

97 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "The 2010 Château Tertre Roteboeuf showed beautifully, with a pure, layered, incredibly elegant profile. The classic Mitjavile style of cassis, darker raspberries, white chocolate, and smoky, tobacco notes are all present, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a pure, seamless, layered mouthfeel, integrated tannins, and a great finish. It's just now showing some secondary evolution, and I suspect it has another two decades of prime drinking ahead of it. Drink 2025-2045." 06/25
