Note di degustazione
Owned by the Gasquetons until 1997. Looks quite evolved. Mid ruby with strong rusty notes at the rim. Very light nose. Lots of gentle evolution. Not in the first flush of youth but this has charm. Needs drinking before the fruit fades though. (JR)

A sleeper, Du Tertre's 1996 exhibits a black ruby/purple color, a sweet black fruit-scented nose, medium to full body, well-integrated tannin, and fine purity and depth. This wine should age nicely, yet have a degree of accessibility young. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2018. Readers should be aware that this property was recently sold by Madame Gasqueton (the proprietor of Calon-Segur) to a Dutchman named Eric Jelgersma, also the new proprietor of Chateau Giscours.
