Impressive dark color. Lots of ripe fruit and black licorice character, with a mineral undertone. Full-bodied, tight and silky. Give this time.

PRODUCER

Château Marquis-de-Terme

Château Marquis-de-Terme is a Fourth Growth estate in the Margaux appellation. In the 17th century it was part of the large Rauzan estate owned by Pierre de Mesures de Rauzan, but since then it has been divided many times. The estate today includes 100 acres of vineyards and is owned by the Sénéclauze family. Wine writers have noted that since the late 1980s this estate has been renovated, updated and thoroughly reinvigorated and recent vintages have impressed reviewers, who have often awarded the recent vintages scores in the low 90s. Vinous wrote: “…Marquis-de-Terme has made serious strides in quality over the last few years. This is an estate to watch.” M de Marquis de Terme is the second label and 48,000 bottles are produced annually.
