It's great to see the 2015 Marquis de Terme in such fine shape. Sumptuous and radiant, with notable presence, the 2015 has a lot to offer. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, blood orange and spice build in the glass as this flamboyant, sumptuous Margaux shows off its winning personality. Although decidedly bold, the 2015 has a gracious side as well. In 2015, the blend is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot.

The 2015 Marquis de Terme is dark, fleshy and wonderfully inviting. Dark red cherry and plum notes wrap around the palate, followed by floral and spice and new leather overtones that add lovely aromatic lift. Gorgeous and impeccably balanced throughout, the 2015 is a winner from Marquis de Terme. Tasted two times.

The 2015 Marquis de Terme has a ripe, slightly exotic bouquet with subtle raisin and fig aromas infusing the red fruit, not ostentatious but certainly leaning toward the more opulent side. The palate is ripe and rounded on the entry and lower in acidity than its peers. The plush finish detracts from typicity. Just a bit... trop? I'm not sure how representative this example is, and I would like to revisit. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.

The 2015 Marquis-de-Terme has a clean and precise bouquet with ebullient blackberry and raspberry fruit, quite a strong marine influence developing in the glass with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, well-judged acidity, judiciously integrated oak and a focused, cedar-tinged finish that has a nod to Pauillac. This is a very fine Margaux that should age well over the next 15-20 years.

The 2015 Marquis de Terme has a crisp and fresh bouquet with mineral-driven black fruit laced with graphite and cedar—not a million miles away from Pauillac in style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a keen line of acidity, an appealing sense of symmetry with just the right amount of spice on the finish to beckon you back for another sip. This is a confident, finely tuned Marquis de Terme that will benefit from 5 years in bottle.

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Marquis de Terme offers up cassis, black cherries and plums on the nose with touches of garrigue, lavender and Provence herbs. The medium-bodied palate offers great fruit concentration with savory accents and ripe, grainy tannins plus plenty of freshness, finishing earthy.

The 2015 Marquis de Terme was picked from September 10 to October 1 and matured in 50% new oak. It is a vintage that I have enjoyed in the past, and this bottle compensates for a questionable showing at Southwold. Plenty of blackberry and grilled meat notes appear on the nose, which is powerful with ample delineation and freshness. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins. It's linear on the entry with a fine bead of acidity, one of the spiciest vintages in recent years, with a tingle of black pepper on the aftertaste. This 2015 deserves longer in bottle. Tasted at the Marquis de Terme vertical.

Greatest Marquis de Terme ever made. Full body, chewy tannins and rich fruit. Yet shows tension and form. Super quality. Best ever.

Fragrant blackberries married to moderate vanilla oak on the nose. Then cue an elegant, moderately tannic palate with some real sophistication. What a seductive wine. I love the long clean, dry and mineral finish that makes you sure this has a couple of decades ahead of it, even if it drinks well now.
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.
