2017 Chateau Marquis de Terme - 4eme Cru Classe Margaux

Decanter.com – 92 pts – JA: *Raspberry and liquorice dominant rather than deep dark fruits, has an evident elegance, silky and supple. A delicious wine with a dense texture to the fruit that holds on through the mid palate. There was some frost here but not a huge impact on the plots of the main wine with the final yield at 38hl/ha.* - 04/2021

Falstaff Magazin - 90pts - PM: *Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung, mit feiner Edelholzwürze unterlegte dunkle Beerenfrucht, zart nach Kräutern, tabakige Nuancen. Mittlerer Körper, rotbeeriger Touch, ausgewogen, präsente Tannine, zart vegetal im Nachhall.* -05/2018

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 88-90+pts - LPB: *The medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Marquis de Terme offers delicate raspberry tart and blackberry pie notions with hints of potpourri, baking spices and dusty soil. Medium-bodied with a velvety texture and just enough red and black fruits in the mouth, it finishes on an earthy note.* -04/2018

Vinum Magazin – 17/20pts: *Stilvoll, harmonisch, mit grosser Präzision gekeltert und ausgebaut, samtenes Tannin, gute, fruchtige Länge; hervorragender Wein, der schon jetzt Freude macht und doch reifen kann. Noch besser als en Primeur.* - 09/2020

WeinWisser – 18/20pts - WL: *Purpurgranat mit rubinroten Reflexen. Ein berauschendes Bouquet mit viel Heidelbeeren und Holundergelee, dahinter rote Kirschen und Cassiswürze. Am kräftigen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur und blitzblank polierten Tanninen, mehligem Extrakt und viel Zug. Im aromatischen Finale explodiert das Kraftpaket mit einem Korb schwarzer Johannisbeeren und Schlehensaft. Kunden werden sich hier über ein modern vinifiziertes Fruchtmonster mit frühem Trinkspass freuen!* – 04/2020

JamesSuckling.com - 90-91pts - JS: *Solid Margaux for the vintage with currant and berry character. Medium to full body and a juicy finish. Mineral and dark-chocolate undertones.* -04/2018

Vinous.com – 93 pts – AG: *The 2017 Marquis de Terme is absolutely gorgeous from the very first taste. It's great to see the 2017 has turned out so well, as it was so promising in barrel. The purity of the flavors is truly remarkable. A wine of total sophistication and polish, Marquis de Terme has a lot to offer. Time in the glass just brings out its gracious, super-refined personality even further. The 2017 finishes with terrific freshness, cut and nuance.* - 03/2020

Vinous.com – 89 pts – NM: *The 2017 Marquis de Terme has a fragrant bouquet of blackberry, raspberry, wild hedgerow and light loamy aromas that gradually unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, plenty of dusky red fruit laced with cedar and leather, the finish demonstrating fine grip if just missing some complexity and breeding.* - 02/2020
