Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 86-89
Low acidity as well as a distinct herbaceousness (or tapenade?) are found in the 2002 Tertre Roteboeuf along with fragrant aromas of licorice, cherries, and currants. Medium-bodied and soft, it is best consumed during its first 6-8 years of life. This is not one of the most inspiring efforts produced by the obsessive/compulsive proprietor, Francois Mitjavile.
Anticipated maturity: 2003-2011

Dense but shaded crimson. Sweet, and low-level TCA on the nose plus very sweet oak. Fruit denuded on the palate though it could have been quite good with out the TCA.
