Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
Château du Tertre — a fifth growth on one of Margaux's highest gravel rises at Arsac, with an unusually large Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot component alongside Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Blackcurrant and dark plum over violets, cedar and graphite, with the appellation's perfume carried on firm but finely drawn tannin. Classical rather than showy, and it wants time.
