The 2007 Le Tertre-Rôteboeuf has an irresistible bouquet with plush red and black fruit, crème de cassis and vanilla pod, almost Burgundian in style and billowing with aeration in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied and plush with dark plum, macerated red cherries and strawberry. But this is all about that velvety texture and the weight and concentration on the finish. Surely this is Tertre-Rôteboeuf? It is! Perhaps the most delicious wine of the vintage. Tasted March 2015.

(13.8% alcohol) Deep ruby-red. Ripe but subdued aromas of black raspberry, licorice, mocha and espresso. Dense, sappy and quite sweet for 2007, with a firm licorice edge and a saline nuance to the dark berry and spice flavors, giving the wine an uncompromising dryness. But this has the silky, velvety, Burgundian texture that long-time fans of this domain love. Finishes with fine-grained tannins and lingering notes of mocha, coffee and licorice.
