Vinous

The 2018 Les Hauts du Tertre is a pretty, gracious wine. Sweet tobacco, earthy notes, licorice and dried cherry are nicely lifted. The 2018 is an especially lifted, earthy Margaux. This mid-weight, open-knit Margaux is best enjoyed sooner rather than later. It would be nice to see a little more richness and overall structure. This is a relatively light style for Margaux. The blend is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc.
