Tasting Notes

The 2017 Marquis de Terme has a clean, conservative, slightly tertiary bouquet with touches of black truffle and smoke. It just needs a little more energy. The palate is medium-bodied with fine definition, quite focused and poised, albeit missing the depth of the previous two vintages. I noticed a lick of dark mocha appearing towards the finish that just blurs its definition. It is quite an easy-drinking Marquis de Termes to enjoy over the next 10 to 12 years.

Score: 89 - 91

The 2017 Marquis de Terme is wonderfully deep, fleshy and seductive. A wine of real charm, the 2017 possesses striking depth and nuance. Black cherry, plum, licorice, menthol and chocolate are all fused together in this decidedly racy, succulent Margaux. The 2017 was super-polished and exceptionally beautiful both times I tasted it. In a word: terrific.

Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com 01 May 2018

The medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Marquis de Terme offers delicate raspberry tart and blackberry pie notions with hints of potpourri, baking spices and dusty soil. Medium-bodied with a velvety texture and just enough red and black fruits in the mouth, it finishes on an earthy note. (88-90+)

Score: 88 - 90

Very dark. Intense blackcurrant-pastille aroma with some vanilla sweetness. A little chalky on the palate, rather delicate but fresh and balanced. The tannins light and dry.

Lots of cassis, toasted spice and dried flower notes all emerge from the 2017 Château Marquis de Terme. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and balanced on the palate, this inky purple-colored Margaux has impressive density and depth as well as a broad, expansive texture. Count me impressed. It’s going to drink nicely for 10-15 years.

Score: 90 - 93

Solid Margaux for the vintage with currant and berry character. Medium to full body and a juicy finish. Mineral and dark-chocolate undertones.

Score: 90 - 91

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 06 April 2018

Enticing, offering ripe plum and raspberry fruit that has melded nicely with light incense and black tea hints. Stylish through the finish, with fine acidity letting this hang prettily.

Score: 90 - 93

James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 04 April 2018

This is almost caramel on the nose, with a clear damson sweetness in the mouth along with dark cassis notes that add some welcome acidity. It shows good cohesiveness and is rich, dark and concentrated. The oak is used liberally but effectively. It may close down fairly tightly for the next six to eight years, but there is good potential here.

Score: 91
