Château du Tertre Margaux 1855 5ième Cru 2009

Gentle supple tannins, very much in its drinking window. I have had a better example at the château recently but here it majors on tobacco leaf, brambled blackberry and fig fruits, gentle cumin and rosemary spice. Balanced, fine tannins, tertiary aromatics. Owned in 2009 by Albada Jelgersma family, Alexander van Beek director, 50% new oak for ageing.
