Kräftiges Rubingranat, zarte Ockerreflexe, breitere Randaufhellung. Attraktive rote Beerenfrucht, frische Kirschen, ein Hauch von Mandarinen und Nougat, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, elegant, gute Komplexität, reife Zwetschken, feine Röstaromen im Abgang, bleibt haften, ein frischer Begleiter bei Tisch, dezente Süße im Nachhall.

The 2018 Les Hauts du Tertre has a pretty blackberry and cranberry bouquet, nicely defined though not powerful. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, fine acidity and some new oak (30%) still to be subsumed on the finish, though there is decent length. This should give several years of drinking pleasure.

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.

A fresh and firm red with mushroom and walnut character. Hints of spice and dark fruit. Medium-bodied. Juicy finish. Spicy and fresh from the 25 per cent cabernet franc in the blend.
