Marquis De Terme 2006
Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
Tasted blind at Southwold ’06 Bordeaux tasting. This is a little disjointed on the nose: dark cherries, mulberry, freshly tilled earth and a touch of black pepper. The palate is medium-bodied, gritty tannin, sharp acidity with a little hardness towards the finish that will mellow with time. Very sweet and plump on the finish, which detracts from the sense of sophistication. Tasted January 2010.

Tasted at the UGC. A lovely ripe nose of black cherries, cedar and well-integrated vanillary new oak. Good definition. The palate is floral with a soft, understated entry, lacking some acidity on the mid-palate but very smooth and sensuous. Plump, rounded finish, less indications of under-ripeness than other Margaux wine. Fine. Tasted April 2007.

This is a relatively lean, austere, mid-weight Margaux that exhibits some pleasant black cherry and black currant fruit as well as dusty, earthy notes in an emaciated style. Drink it over the next 10 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.
