The heady, open-knit, expansive, dark ruby/purple-tinged 2003 reveals notes of sweet chocolate and black cherry liqueur as well as low acidity, elevated alcohol and glycerin, and a loosely knit, nearly flabby style. It is a charming, sensual St.-Emilion to enjoy over the next 8-10 years.
This is a delicious, textural rendition of Tertre Roteboeuf that wears its heart on its sleeve, coating the palate with black cherry, spice, coffee, tar and melted dark chocolate. Supple, ripe and expansive, with nicely refined, detail tannins. One of the successes of this difficult right bank year.
Intense aromas of Indian spices, vanilla and chocolate with lots of berry. Full-bodied, round and silky with a long, gorgeous finish. Seductive. Best after 2009.
One of the most distinctive wines made in 2003. Has a quite different spectrum of superripe fruit flavours. Yet it also has remarkable freshness.
Typically sexy, this 2003's evolved dark ruby color already displays a pink rim. Tertre Roteboeuf’s kirsch liqueur, sweet, chocolatey, heady style is well-displayed in the aromatics. In the mouth, it is medium to full-bodied, loosely knit, not profoundly concentrated, but ripe, alcoholic, and obviously from a challenging vintage. I would opt for drinking it over the next 7-10 years.
