Description
Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London and then blind at Farr's horizontal, the 2006 Château du Tertre has a loose-knit bouquet with earthy, slightly dour red berry fruit that need more vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannin, balanced but it seems like a wine that has run out of ideas and does not know where to go. Tasted around the same time as the excellent 2015, I would hedge my money against the more recent vintage and wait! Alternatively, there are several other vintages that have performed better in recent years. Tasted April 2016. Neal Martin

Tasting note
2006年的杜特城堡，這款來自著名的瑪歌產區的五級酒莊，展現了波爾多非凡的風土條件。酒體呈現中等的紅寶石色澤，散發著深沉的黑果香氣，並帶有泥土和塵土的氣息。口感上，成熟的黑色水果在柔和的單寧和豐富的中段口感中脫穎而出。溫暖的酒精度和收結在成熟果味與細膩的泥土香氣中達到了完美的平衡。經法國橡木桶陳年，這款酒已發展出複雜的風味，將繼續演化，為任何鑑賞家帶來迷人的選擇。
The 2006 Chateau du Tertre, a distinguished Fifth Growth from the esteemed Margaux appellation, is a testament to the exceptional terroir of Bordeaux. With a medium ruby-red hue, this wine exudes dark fruit aromas intertwined with earthy, dusty notes. On the palate, ripe dark fruits assert themselves against a backdrop of soft tannins and a rich, velvety mid-palate. The wine's structure is complemented by warm alcohol and a finish that gracefully balances ripe fruit with subtle earthy tones. Aged in French oak barrels, this wine has developed a complex profile that will continue to evolve, making it a captivating choice for any connoisseur.
