Tasting Notes

Tasted blind. Very evolved colour with some ruby notes at the rim. Extremely opulent and rich with the Tertre hint of candied rose petals. Fun and a pleasure to drink. The richness almost distracts from higher acidity than usual. Highly distinctive! Long. (JR)

The 2021 Tertre-Roteboeuf is a dark, sensual wine. Deceptive in its mid-weight feel, the 2021 is wonderfully persistent and nuanced from start to finish. Kirsch, sweet spice, tobacco, mint, dried flowers, mocha, rose petal and cinnamon are all beautifully delineated. The 2021 was bottled just a few months before this tasting. My impression is that it is still recovering from bottle shock. As always, Tertre-Roteboeuf is distinguished by its thrilling inner perfume, sweetness and overall character.
