Tasting notes
Before it was bought by Haut-Brion. Sweet and fresh. Dense and dancing with some lift as well as all that ripeness. A happy whole. Even if for the moment it's a bit drying on the end. (JR)

This excellent yet under-exploited terroir has produced its finest Tertre Daugay to date. The dark ruby/purple-colored 2009 offers loads of black raspberry, licorice, and black cherry aromas, medium to full body, silky tannins, a layered mouthfeel, and an expansive finish. It should provide enormous pleasure over the next 10-15 years. (Tasted two times.)
Very dark purple. So sweet! Like Edinburgh rock and glucose. Feels as though it will harm the teeth. Pretty sweet and to the limit. (JR)
About the producer
Ch. Tertre Daugay is no longer produced, having been bought by Domaine Clarence Dillon (owners of Ch. Haut-Brion and Ch. la Mission Haut-Brion) in 2011 and its name changed to Ch. Quintus.
