Dunkles Purpur mit violettem Rand. Berauschendes, blaubeeriges Bouquet mit reifer Heidelbeere und Cassis, dicht und konzentriert mit Veilchen und Iris dahinter. Am Gaumen stoffig und trotzdem mit gewisser Eleganz, der Aufwärtstrend geht weiter

Généreux et fruité, très dense et coloré, tannin un peu ferme, ici encore l’élevage fera son œuvre.

The 2016 Marquis-de-Terme has a nicely detailed bouquet, perhaps not as vigorous or as intense as the 2015 last year, but opening nicely with raspberry, blueberry and a touch of violet. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp and tightly-wound black fruit tinged with graphite, grippy towards the finish, which is concise if not prolonged. This has good potential, but it is just a furlong behind the 2015 at the moment.

Deep in color, flowers, black raspberries, licorice and smoke are easy to find. Lush, silky, fresh and polished, this is quite a nice style of wine.

The 2016 Marquis de Terme offers tremendous up-front intensity and lushness. Some of that intensity tapers off a bit on the mid-palate and into the finish, but there is nevertheless plenty of depth. The darker side of Margaux emerges in a flavor profile redolent of black cherry, plum, lavender spice, licorice and sweet tobacco. This is an especially plush, dense style but it works, and nicely. Michel Rolland consults. Tasted two times.

(60 Cabernet Sauvignon, 35 Merlot, 5 Petit Verdot) | 50% new oak | 13.5% alc. Good, solid and well-judged, this is a blunt wine but it is well-fruited and also not too hard or lean on the finish and it will inevitably unfurl into a decent piece of work. Not setting the world on fire, but doing its job, this is probably not a wine to buy, but it is one I would happily drink! 16.5+

A little sweaty on the nose. Round and easy on the palate. And then pretty chewy and drying. Not a runaway success.

Barrel Sample. Structured, and with fine juicy fruit, this is a ripe wine that is also firm. It has a sense of style to it, elegant and bright. This will be for the medium term, ready in 10 years.
