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.
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.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
