Chateau Tertre de Roteboeuf 1990

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (98)

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!

Winespectator (88)

Ripe and generous, with a streak of tannin that keeps the spicy, tobacco-scented black cherry flavors from showing well.
