Note di degustazione
This stands out from other 2007s, (which I love right now for their grace and drinkability) because it has still young and concentrated juicy black fruits. Really one to look out for, a standout of the vertical, it's a cooler vintage so full of floral and truffle aromatics that curl out of the glass, standing on the precipice between primary and tertiary, combining freshness and spice with blueberry and damson fruit. The campfire character that is such a signature of Tertre Roteboeuf comes from the terroir, and the south facing vines, as well as the new oak for ageing, and they combine with the fine tannins and a slow-build exuberance to great effect here. 100% new oak.

Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 2007 Bordeaux tasting. The 2007 Le Tertre-Rôteboeuf has an irresistible bouquet with plush red and black fruit, crème de cassis and vanilla pod, almost Burgundian in style and billowing with aeration in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied and plush with dark plum, macerated red cherries and strawberry. But this is all about that velvety texture and the weight and concentration on the finish. Surely this is Tertre-Rôteboeuf? It is! Perhaps the most delicious wine of the vintage. Tasted March 2015.
Evolved ruby. Sweet dark chocolate plus greenness on the nose. Very mellifluous at first but it’s just not quite pure enough for perfection. Too much oak influence? Like a chocolate liqueur. (JR)
