Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Stephen Tanzer
Ruby-red. Inviting aromas of cherry, raspberry, chocolate, minerals and maple syrup. Plump, sweet and pliant, with the minerally quality carrying through in the mouth. Rather generous for this wine at this stage. Finishes with good length and ripe tannins.

Licorice, cassis, fennel, and smoky wood characteristics are found in this medium-bodied, lightweight 2000. Although one-dimensional, it is clean and well-balanced.

An opaque purple color is accompanied by a burly, medium to full-bodied Margaux with attractive notions of smoky oak, flowers, and black fruits, fine ripeness as well as purity, and a compressed but powerful finish. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2018.

The only vintage after 1996 that merits attention from serious wine lovers, the 2000 Marquis de Terme has a dense, murky ruby/purple color and a sweet nose of berry fruit, earth, licorice, and new oak. Medium-weight with good concentration and purity, it is much more developed than most 2000s. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2015.

The 2000 Marquis de Terme was picked from September 25 to October 5 and matured in 50% new oak. It has quite a high-toned bouquet with Xmas cake and raisins infusing what is a seductive nose. It has better delineation and is fresher than the 1998. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, black fruit laced with tobacco and black pepper, cohesive with fine weight towards the finish. Fairly Saint-Julien in style, this 2000 is drinking perfectly now but has the freshness to suggest it will keep drinking well for many years. Tasted at the Marquis de Terme vertical.
About the Producer
The grapes of the Marquis de Damon estate are all hand-picked, and only the grapes that have been strictly screened can enter the subsequent winemaking process. During the brewing process, the winery uses gravity to transport the grape juice, not pumping. The grape juice will be fermented in concrete tanks, stainless steel tanks or temperature-controlled oak barrels, and the fermented wine will be transferred to French oak barrels to mature for 16-18 months (of which the proportion of new barrels is 50%). Starting from the 2016 vintage, the manor has also specially used wine bottles with anti-counterfeiting and product tracking functions to package the wines of the winery. Consumers can use the QR code scanning function of smartphones to enter relevant websites to complete the identification of wines. At present, the Marquis de Damon mainly produces five types of red wines, among which the quality of the authentic wine, the Chateau Marquis de Terme, Margaux, France, is particularly excellent. Powerful and elegant, this wine is full-bodied, tannin and chewy, with rich fruit flavors and a balanced structure. It has won many wine competitions and many leading wine critics and wine critics. High score.
