2010 Tertre Rôteboeuf, St-Emilion

“The 2010 Château Tertre Roteboeuf showed beautifully, with a pure, layered, incredibly elegant profile. The classic Mitjavile style of cassis, darker raspberries, white chocolate, and smoky, tobacco notes are all present, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a pure, seamless, layered mouthfeel, integrated tannins, and a great finish.” (06/2025)

“Saturated ruby. Deep aromas of red and black fruits, violet, gunflint, licorice and bitter chocolate, complemented by a sexy oak-derived note of hickory smoke. Large-scaled and sweet, but with terrific precision and refinement to the flavors of dark berries, chocolate, licorice and minerals. Finishes polished and long. Not as opulent or exotic as the 2009, but offers exceptional sweetness and size while managing to maintain impressive verve and thrust. A great 2010. (ST)” (07/2013)

“Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Le Tertre Roteboeuf reveals notes of leather, cedar and balsamic with a core of raisin cake and unsmoked cigars. Full-bodied, the palate is firm and chewy with a lively line cutting through the dried berries and savory layers, finishing just a little warm. (LPB)” (03/2020)

“The 2010 Le Tertre Rôteboeuf has an impressive bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit, melted tar on a hot summer day, warm gravel and allspice. This exhibits very fine delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity. (NM) 92+” (02/2020)
