Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Du Tertre was showing marked maturing on the brick rim. The nose felt a little fatigued while the palate was missing some backbone and freshness. It is saved by some attractive black pepper and sandalwood notes, but otherwise, I feel that this Margaux has declined in recent years. Tasted February 2017.

Black-red, purple rim, smoky and nicely concentrated blackcurrant Cabernet fruit, smooth, even a little chocolatey, very good natural ripeness and none of the greenness or rawness of the vintage, an attractive, plummy, classy wine.

Deep colour. Attractive nose of little red and black fruits, a touch mineral. Soft and balanced in the mouth, the aftertaste is a little rustic, definitely a wine to follow

The wood that dominated during the futures tastings in 2008 has calmed down, merging more easily into the rich fruits. There is an attractive smoky character, focused berry flavors and delicious spice. It should age well over 3–5 years.
