title: Château Tertre de Belvès 2012  Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux
description: This 100% Merlot from a small experimental vineyard is solid, firm and still young. It has a dense structure of tannins and wood aging, showing bitter coffee flavors and an austere character after 14 months in new French oak. It will likely remain a tough proposition.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
