Product Description
JD99 "Just about pure perfection, the 2000 Château Tertre Roteboeuf is showing gorgeously today, with a youthful ruby hue as well as spectacular notes of red and black fruits, white truffle, spice box, and exotic flowers. It's full-bodied and concentrated, yet it stays light on its feet and has silky tannins, an incredible sense of opulence, and awesome length. This is Saint-Emilion magic all the way. Drink bottles any time over the coming 15-20 years." JD Feb 2023
RP98 "My all-time favorite vintage of Tertre-Roteboeuf, the 2000 should age much more consistently than the rather irregular 1990 or the top-notch 1989. The 2005 should give it a run for its money down the road, but at present, this wine is performing fabulously well. It boasts a dense ruby/purple color along with notes of kirsch liqueur and licorice. This St.-Emilion could pass for a great Chateauneuf du Pape or top-notch Musigny, although it has more power and depth than a burgundy, and none of the peppery/garrigue characteristics of a Rhone. Nevertheless, there is a sweet character from the high glycerin level as I suspect the alcohol content exceeds 14%. Velvety textured and full-bodied, but surprisingly youthful, this stunningly rich wine can be drunk now, but promises to last another two decades." RP Jun 2010
Robert Parker writes, "Proprietor Francois Mitjavile continues to perform at an exemplary level. This is a stunning effort. A dramatic, flamboyant, head-spinning nose of melted fudge, coffee, tobacco, kirsch liqueur, and cassis backed by smoke and scorched earth soars from the glass. In the mouth, this is the essence of Le Tertre-Roteboeuf, full-bodied, super-concentrated, seamless, exotic, and hedonistic, as well as immensely satisfying on an intellectual level. This is great stuff!" Published: Apr 22, 2001
