Chateau Marquis de Terme 2024

ANSON: "Slim and supple, savoury blue fruits, shot through with campfire and liquorice, crayon and roses, well handled in the vintage. Good Margaux typicity and has ageing ability in the mid term. Harvest 25 September to 4 October. 40% new oak. Now including the vines from Château Marojallia, but also reducing the percentage of 1st wine overall, so really focusing on the best plots."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Blackcurrants, flowers, cherries, espresso, and cigar box aromatics are already expressive. The wine is soft, seductive, and forward, with a core of plummy fruits with touches of spice, and mint in the mid-palate, and in the finish. The wine blends 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot. Drink from 2028-2045."

VINUM: "Erstaunlich dunkle Farbe; rauchig, kühl, dunkelfruchtig im Duft; am Gaumen satte Frucht, seidige Tannine, lebhafte Säure, nicht ausgesprochen langanhaltend, jedoch mit guter Harmonie aller Elemente. Gelungen."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Noten von Heidelbeeren, Brombeerkonfit, zart nach Lakritze und Orangenzesten, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, elegant, gute Komplexität, frisch, reife Kirschfrucht im Abgang, bleibt haften, vielversprechendes Potenzial."
