The 2021 Marquis de Terme showed well from barrel, and this bottle (the first to be opened at the château, no less) has a fresh and vibrant nose with well-defined black fruit intermixed with tobacco and graphite aromas. The palate is fresh and lively, with moderate weight. It's classical in style with a tobacco-infused, elegant finish. Black coffee hints appear on the aftertaste. This is a very commendable Margaux for the vintage. Tasted at the Marquis de Terme vertical.

The 2021 Marquis de Terme is a powerful, deep wine, but it has not come together quite as well as I had hoped. Today, burly contours and strong acids dominate. I don’t see much Margaux charm today. Dark red cherry, scorched earth, chalk, white pepper and floral notes struggle to fully emerge from behind a wall of coarse tannins. Perhaps time will help. Tasted three times.

Good depth of dark currants and baking spices with chili chocolate and dark olives. Tight and fine-grained on the palate, providing nice structure from the nicely chewy tannins. Tight and pretty long. Drink from 2025.

Smoky and rather dark and sooty, this is a strange wine with little mid-palate, and it seems to want to impress on the nose and then disappears on the palate after a few moments. While this is clearly not a profound creation, I rather liked the fruit tone while it lasted! 15.5

Tight and focused with blackberry, blueberry and some licorice character. Medium body, firm tannins and a bright, linear finish.

From an estate that has been in the Sénéclauze family since 1935, the 2021 Château Marquis de Terme checks in as 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot that's still resting in 50% new barrel. This ripe, mouth-filling, almost meaty Margaux offers lots of darker fruits as well as notes of truffly earth, chalky mineral, and chocolate to go with a medium-bodied, round, mouth-filling style on the palate. This wine always has a touch of rusticity, but it brings character, texture, and solid mid-palate depth. Tasted twice. 89-91+

Marquis de Terme skillfully amalgamates its signature ripeness and roundness in the vintage of 2021. Thanks to the gentle Piegae extraction, the wine presents some very dark color, yet fresh and delicious tastes, especially highlighted by the aromas of juicy raspberry, mulberry, and dried plum. Setting off by the rounded mouthfeel, the well-polished tannins are particularly plumpy. If you are in quest of a riper and richer wine for the 2021 vintage, Marquis de Terme must be your best shot for the most valuable one.

Violets, cherries, plums and flowers, with accents of licorice and black cherries, the wine has good concentration, ripeness, polished tannins, round-textures and a lot of flesh and depth for the vintage. Drink from 2024-2039. 91-93

The 2021 Marquis de Terme has an attractive bouquet with blackberry, bilberry and crushed iris petal scents. The palate is well balanced with sappy black fruit, fine tannins, well-judged acidity and a sapid finish. This actually punches above my expectations and looks promising. I look forward to re-tasting this in bottle because this is the best wine from the estate I've tasted in many years.

The 2021 Marquis de Terme is inky, vibrant and super-expressive. Dark fruit, bittersweet chocolate, spice and licorice are all dialed up. A whole range of floral and savory nuances lingers on the close. Readers will find a Margaux endowed with terrific depth as well as character. I am very much looking forward to tasting this from bottle.

Tiefdunkel. Die Nase ist ziemlich intensiv, noch von Röstnoten dominiert, eher dunkelfruchtig, Tabak, Pfeffer. Der Gaumen ist relativ druckvoll, die Tannine sind von guter Qualität, markieren noch, harmonieren jedoch mit dem Extrakt des Weines. Im Abgang mit roter Frucht und etwas Blutorangen. 2025-2040 (Verkostet im April 2022. Vintex)

Nez fumé, grillé, un peu variétal avec une pointe de réglisse. Charge tannique importante, des tanins un peu denses pour une structure légère.

Exhibiting aromas of sweet cherries, berries, loamy soil and creamy new oak, the 2021 Marquis de Terme is medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy, with a seamless, polished profile and creditable depth at the core despite the challenging vintage.
