Official Tasting Notes:
Elegant, silky, fresh and vibrant, the fruit is soft, polished, ripe and pure. If you look closely, you can already find the floral nuances along with licorice, cherry, black raspberry and smoke. Give this 8-10 years and it is going to be a beauty!

Showing better from the bottle than it did in barrel, the wine has filled out and softened, adding floral nuances to the licorice, cherry, black raspberry and smoky overtones. Soft, polished, round and with fruit to spare, this is showing great today and will only get better wine time.

John’s view:
I love Margaux wines, they have all the structure of Pauillacs but also a softness that makes them easier to drink. If you want to splash out on a mighty left bank red go right ahead or get some of this stuff and buy a small car as well. Seriously though this is awesome value-for-money, I have no idea why they sell it so cheap!

Description
Additional information

Château Marquis de Terme

Family-owned 35 hectare vineyard that has a relatively low proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon (55%) so produces a softer styled wine as the balance is Merlot. Only had 3 owners since theystarted making wine in 1762, well obviously there have been a few generations of each owner but you get the idea. In some cases family ownership translates into poorly invested, backward production techniques and rubbish wine. Here the opposite is true so despite its size (it is the biggest vineyard to feature on our list) it has kept its own character and style. The label says it all, nothing ornate, not shouty, just discrete and classy. As a useless fact Thomas Jefferson mentioned it in his diary whilst at the same time being the third US President back in the early 17th century.
