Marquis De Terme 2004
Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
A similar note to the one taken out of barrel, lamenting the high-toned, rather egregious nose with super-ripe red cherry fruit: flash rather than intellectual. The palate is slightly better, although there is a slight green edge. Rather brusque tannins with a wine-gum, one-dimensional finish. Not bad, but should be better. Drink now-2011. Tasted November 2008.

The nose seems forced and over-extracted but the palate is paradoxically quite linear and restrained. Moderate tannins, dense, earthy blackcurrant filling the mid-palate with some elegance on the finish. Fine. Tasted April 2005.

This dark ruby/purple-colored Margaux is lean, dry, astringent, and medium-bodied. It possess some sweet cherry and currant fruit, but narrows on the palate to reveal moderately high tannin in the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2016.
Reviewed by: Robert M. Parker, Jr.
Fabulous aromatics of graphite, melted licorice, black truffles, and cassis suggest something profound, but on the palate, the wine does not follow through. Slightly clipped and monolithic, but still very good, this mid-weight Margaux possesses terrific aromatics, but not the flavor/concentration/depth to match the evolved bouquet. Drink it over the next 10-12 years.
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.
