Le Tertre Rôteboeuf Saint Emilion (RP 98) 2005

Description

A sensational effort, Tertre Roteboeuf’s 2005, along with the 2000, is one of the most profound wines made by Francois Mitjavile. A dense ruby/purple color is followed by a stunning perfume of sweet black currants, jammy cherries, licorice, and spice. Full-bodied and opulent with high, but remarkably sweet, velvety tannins as well as a stunning texture and a finish that lasts nearly a minute, this prodigious St.-Emilion should be drinkable in 3-4 years, and last for two decades or more. Kudos to the proprietor. Rating 98 Reviewer: Robert Parker in Parker’s “Bordeuax: Third Edition”“This property is the
single greatest discovery I have ever made in the Bordeaux region”
