Tasted blind at the 2007 Bordeaux horizontal in Southwold. The nose is lacking some vigour at the moment, quite earthy at the moment, broody and introspective. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins, good acidity but a little simple towards the gritty finish. It is just lacking excitement. Early drinking only. Tasted January 2011.

Tasted at the UGC in London. This Marquis de Terme has a soft, leafy nose, mulberry, a touch of autumn bonfire/burning embers with a faint vegetal note (though less “cabbage-like” than out of barrel.) But it does need more vigour. The palate is medium-bodied, sweet cherry fruit on the entry, nice sappy middle with an edgy, peppery finish that displays good fruit extraction and a deft touch. Good show. Drink now-2017. Tasted November 2009.

A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot. This has an odd nose that for me is lacking freshness and has a cabbage aroma to it. The palate is dominated by oak and I am unsure whether there is sufficient ripe fruit underneath. Tasted April 2008.

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.
