Bid on this 4-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2000 du Tertre, Margaux (92VN, 91JS, 91RP), 1-bottle of 2000 La Grange Neuve de Figeac, St-Emilion, 1-bottle of 2000 Le Cleméntin du Pape Clément, Pessac-Léognan, and 1-bottle of 2000 Meyney, St-Estèphe. Of the 2000 du Tertre, Margaux, Vinous writes: "Deep ruby to the rim; much darker than both the 2001 and the 2003. Notes of milk chocolate, underbrush and cedar complicate the ripe red cherry and dark plum aromas. Enters sweet, dense and tactile, displaying ripe dark fruit, tobacco, porcini and mineral flavors of noteworthy precision and cut thanks to harmonious acidity. Finishes sweet, spicy, smooth and very long; once again, du Tertre comes across as remarkably fresh and focused in a hot vintage. (ID)" (01/2012)
