Tertre other_regions There is a slightly finerThe 2010 du Tertre soars out of the glass with blackberry, sous bois and light mint aromas. Good definition here and nicely focused. The palate is medium bodied with supple but quite firm tannins, a welcome sprinkling of cracked black pepper and an off dry finish that feels long and persistent. Superb.
