You feel the warmth of the vintage on the nose of this du Tertre which is packed with concentrated, dark berry fruit - soft and warm, rather than fresh and crunchy. It's quite full on the palate and there is plenty of firm tannin waiting in the wings. It perhaps lacks a little bit of brightness and energy, though that may come in time. Drinking range: 2026 - 2035 L&S (Apr 2019)

Aromas of meat and dark berries with some dried flowers. It’s full-bodied with round, chewy tannins and a juicy finish with some dark chocolate. Give it three or four years to soften and come together. Try after 2024. Rating: 94 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Feb 2021)
Darker and more savoury than the Sirène de Giscours, tasted alongside, with a fine note of crushed rocks. Really pure, delicately floral, smells – and tastes – elegant. Fine texture, dry tannic finesse. Unusually pretty in this vintage. Lots of freshness through to the finish. Already showing real refinement when many wines are too concentrated to show their likely future. Drinking range: 2024 - 2032 Rating: 17 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Apr 2019)
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 du Tertre is a little reduced to begin, opening out to notions of baked plums, warm cassis and dried mulberries with hints of tar, chargrill and black pepper plus a waft of bouquet garni. Full-bodied with a firm, chewy frame, it has a good amount of baked berries and herbal flavors with a sage-laced finish. Rating: 89-91 Lisa Perrotti-Brown, RobertParker.com (Apr 2019)
