A sleeper, Du Tertre's 1996 exhibits a black ruby/purple color, a sweet black fruit-scented nose, medium to full body, well-integrated tannin, and fine purity and depth. This wine should age nicely, yet have a degree of accessibility young. Score: 88 - 90 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate Maturity: 2004-2018 |

Owned by the Gasquetons until 1997. Looks quite evolved. Mid ruby with strong rusty notes at the rim. Very light nose. Lots of gentle evolution. Not in the first flush of youth but this has charm. Needs drinking before the fruit fades though. Score: 16 Jancis Robinson MW, Jancisrobinson.com Maturity: 2004-2012 |
