The 2010 du Tertre soars out of the glass with blackberry

it’s great to see Gaja’s daughters Gaia and Rossana increasingly involved in the winery

energetic finish that features well-knit tannins and a resonating mineral note

spicy and gamy ripe wild red berry fruit aromas

This has serious spine

Serafin Pere et Fils, Morey Saint Denis Millandes other_regions_italy The 2010 du Tertre soarsThis is every bit as elegant as the Fontenys but quite firm like the VV, offering a pretty mix of red berry fruits and hints of game, anise and warm iron infused earth notes trimmed in a touch of wood that introduce moderately structured middle weight flavors that are restrained yet sweet, all wrapped in a precise, punchy and mineral based finish. I like this but be aware that there is rigor here so it will require some patience. 90 2012+
