Chateau du Tertre Margaux 2000

$9499

Twenty-five years on and du Tertre 2000 is squarely in its prime. This Margaux 5th Growth sits on a unique gravel mound - the highest point in the appellation - and the Cabernet-dominant blend has finally shed its youthful structure to reveal the cedar, tobacco, and dried-flower complexity that great mature Bordeaux is all about. 2000 was a benchmark vintage and du Tertre delivered handsomely. A mature Margaux drinking in its sweet spot right now.

Antonio Galloni

92 points

"Deep ruby to the rim; much darker than both the 2001 and the 2003. Notes of milk chocolate, underbrush and cedar complicate the ripe red cherry and dark plum aromas. Enters sweet, dense and tactile, displaying ripe dark fruit, tobacco, porcini and mineral flavors of noteworthy precision and cut thanks to harmonious acidity. Finishes sweet, spicy, smooth and very long; once again, du Tertre comes across as remarkably fresh and focused in a hot vintage." —Ian D'Agata

Robert Parker

91 points

"A dense purple color is followed by layers of concentrated blackberry fruit intertwined with damp earth, mushroom, and sweet, toasty barrique smells. With ripe tannin, medium to full body, a layered texture, and a concentrated, impressively endowed finish, this is the finest Du Tertre since their 1979. This is a property on the move ... up!" —Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Wine Spectator

89 points

"Smoky and rich, with berry and meaty aromas. Full-bodied, with firm tannins and a slightly tart finish. Needs time to come together. Good effort. Best after 2006."
