Château du Tertre Margaux 1996
Château du Tertre is a historic Fifth Growth in Margaux known for Cabernet-focused blends and classical Left Bank style. The 1996 vintage was one of the top years of the decade in the Médoc, producing structured, age-worthy wines with concentration and firm tannins.
This 1996 shows blackcurrant, cedar, tobacco, dried roses, and graphite, with the tertiary notes expected from long bottle aging. The palate is linear and elegant, with fresh acidity and polished tannins that reflect both the vintage and the Margaux appellation. The finish is long, with earthy and savory elements emerging over time.
The wine is drinking well today and pairs with roasted lamb, ribeye, mushroom dishes, or aged cheeses. It is a classic example of mature Margaux from a strong Left Bank year.
