Product Description
RP98 "An absolutely spectacular Tertre Roteboeuf, probably the only other vintage that will reach this level of quality is the 2000. The 1990 has a deep plum/ruby color with some lightening at the edge and an extraordinarily flamboyant nose of jammy black cherry and berry fruit infused with smoke, caramel, and coffee notes that soar from the glass. This is a very viscous, full-bodied, silky textured wine has a to-die-for finish and enough glycerin and body to get lost. It is just entering its plateau of full maturity. A wow-wow wine!" RP Dec 2002
Robert Parker writes, "By the way, in the blind tasting, I was convinced that the 1990 Le Tertre-Roteboeuf was the 1990 Le Pin - so much for experience." Published: Feb 27, 1997
