Vinous

The 2023 Marquis de Terme is a dense, powerful Margaux. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, new leather, espresso and cloves are all amplified, lending the 2023 tons of textural volume and richness. All the elements are so well balanced. This is a fine vintage for Marquis de Terme, a wine that has improved markedly in recent years. Tasted three times. 04/2024

The 2023 Marquis de Terme has a perfumed, floral bouquet, with wilted violets infusing the pretty blackberry and raspberry fruit. I would have liked a little more vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins and fine acidity. It's quite detailed and mineral-driven towards the finish. Tasted twice, a second bottle revealed more nuance and complexity, and I adjust my score accordingly. I much prefer this 2023 to the 2022. 04/2024

An estate that's been on an upward trajectory over the past 5-10 years, the 2023 Château Marquis De Terme has some smoky black fruits, leafy herb, iron, and spring flower notes that give way to a more medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, balanced Margaux with ripe tannins and solid purity. It has considerable elegance and finesse and should require just a few years of bottle age. 05/2024

Lovely young wine here with a pretty core of berry fruit and bark undertones. Medium body. Crisp, fine and lightly chewy tannins at the end. Quite seamless. 04/2024
