Chateau Du Tertre 5eme Grand Cru Classe, Margaux 2015

Tasting Notes:

Deep in color, with cedar wood, spice, blackberry and gravel scents, this medium/full bodied, tannic, masculine wine requires time before the ample tannins soften and everything comes together.

Tasting Notes:

The aromas of the wine are subtle, sensual and luxurious aroma of the wine is woven from notes of black cherry, red and shades of tobacco. It  has a delicate, sweet, rich taste with soft notes of ripe black grapes and flowers. 

Tasting Notes:

It has a fragrant bouquet with delineated red cherries, crushed strawberry and hints of vanilla from the 100% new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, ripe and rounded in the mouth, very well balanced and very smooth.

Tasting Notes:

This is a classic, elegant wine with a clear, well-designed structure and a long, fresh finish. It shows a lot of black fruits, licorice, violet and wisteria. On the palate, a nice roundness, smooth, charming taste, quite unctuous and fruity.

Tasting Notes:

It has a typical Léoville-Poyferré bouquet at this stage: quite bullish and forthright, packed full of dense black cherries, red plum and cassis, the 85% new oak pronounced, but will be subsumed with bottle age. The palate is full-bodied with mouth-coating tannin: layers of graphite-infused black fruit, cedar and mint, almost Pauillac-like in personality with a sustained graphite finish. This is a sophisticated Saint Julien built for long-term ageing.

Tasting Notes:

Licorice, spice, earth, plum, black cherry and stone notes are made more interesting by the soft, sexy, plush textures, polished tannins and the long, spicy, silky finish.

Tasting Notes:

The 2015 Gazin has a perfumed bouquet with layers of black cherry, raspberry coulis and truffle scents, more welcoming and sensual than the wines a decade ago from barrel when they intermittently felt under-ripe. There is none of that here for sure. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit on the entry. There is excellent structure here, a masculine Gazin with plenty of grip, counterbalanced by abundant tertiary, tobacco-tinged black fruit.

Tasting Notes:

A perfumed bouquet, forward and showing fine hints of cherry jam and Parma Violet. Pronounced style, quite lush and rich, there is a sweet core of fruit, integrated oak and notes of co ee, cherry, liquorice and cedar. The palate is structured, rich and quite fulsome, balanced yet big at the same time. very good wine that will age well.
