"The 2016 Tertre-Rôteboeuf, which was bottled in August 2018, has a refined bouquet that unfolds in the glass to reveal blackberry, raspberry, hints of wild hedgerow and just a distant whiff of the sea. I love the elegance on display here. The palate is silky-smooth on the entry, offering beguiling, slightly confit red fruit laced with dark chocolate, sage and light mineral notes. You can feel the tongue tingling with residues of white pepper and pain d’épices long after the wine has departed. Just beautiful and très Tertre-Rôteboeuf."

"The 2016 Tertre-Rôteboeuf is flat-out stunning and also one of the wines of the vintage. Rich, deep and explosive, the 2016 possesses remarkable depth and intensity from the very first taste. The 2016 is exotic, full-throttle and unapologetically hedonistic. At times, Tertre-Rôteboeuf can be a bit rough around the edges, but the 2016 is totally sublime. In a world in which so many wines are copycats, Tertre-Rôteboeuf is an original. And the 2016 is a great, emotionally moving Tertre-Rôteboeuf. This is a magnificent effort from François and Nina Mitjavile. Don't miss it!"

"Proprietor François Mitjavile and his daughter, Nina, craft uncompromisingly gorgeous wines from a tiny cellar in Saint Émilion that looks more like Burgundy than Bordeaux. Their 2016 Tertre-Rôteboeuf is a real head-turner. Sweet, voluptuous and racy to the core, the 2016 exudes depth in every dimension. This is one of the more overt, exotically ripe 2016s readers will come across. Then again, that is one of the signatures of Tertre-Rôteboeuf, one of the most deeply personal and unique, artisan wines readers will find in Bordeaux today. Harvest took place on October 14 and 18."
