Tertre Roteboeuf St Emilion Grand Cru 2010

Description

OUTSTANDING 2010 right bank Bordeaux...This vintage will go down in the records books and it still surprises and delights with its intense structure, muscular fruit and minerals, and deft overall balance. Don't miss this stunner from this incredible vintage - Tertre-Roteboeuf is a small winery that has been making wine since 1978, in a picturesque town outside of St-Emilion. Francois Mitjavile is the brilliant and expert winemaker behind this culty project. A wistful character with an undeniable talent for producing exceptional and thought-provoking wines. This vintage is known for its optimal ripeness and this Tertre Roteboeuf is no doubt RIPE. The wine is luxurious with notes of leather, cedar cassis and balsamic reduction. It's full-bodied with savory complex layers, but what is most notable is the incredible length. This is a treasure for the cellar!
