Du Tertre 2005 presents a deep crimson hue, indicating its age and complexity. The nose reveals layers of black currants, plum, and hints of cedar, alongside undertones of forest floor and tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied, showcasing a blend of dark fruits and subtle spiciness, framed by silky tannins. It has a modest acidity that balances the fruit while lingering on the finish, providing a sense of refinement.
This wine comes from the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux, known for its gravelly soils and maritime climate. Du Tertre estate has a rich history dating back to the 18th century and is classified as a Fourth Growth in the 1855 Classification of Bordeaux. The 2005 vintage is notable, as it was characterized by near-perfect growing conditions, producing wines with depth and potential for aging.

Vinous
The 2005 du Tertre is a bold, savory wine, as it so often is. Game, scorched earth, licorice, tobacco and dried herbs give this dark, virile Margaux much of its distinctive personality. The 2005 has aged well. I would prefer to drink it over the next handful of years, before the fruit fully fades, even though there is enough density to allow for aging beyond that. Structurally, du Tertre is a bit lighter than most Margaux in 2005.
