"Dark ruby. Complex, dense and expressive bouquet, on notes of blackcurrant, wall with a peppery tip. Yelled and creamy attack accompanied by a note of blackcurrant, cocoa and clove tip to enhance everything. The tannins are dense, powerful and coated. This joyful balance gives a very silky, delicate, fresh side." —winemaker

"This has aromas of graphite, blackcurrants, blackberries, walnuts and mint chocolate. It’s focused and full-bodied with a frame of polished, firm tannins. All wonderfully integrated and persistent. Firm and fine. Try after 2025." —James Suckling
"The flagship 2020 Château Marquis De Terme clearly a step up and is based on 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot. Aged all in once-used oak for 16 months, it has a pure bouquet of cassis, violets, chocolate, and toasted spices. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it shows the pure, focused, elegant style of the vintage, has ultra-fine tannins, and outstanding length. It's one of the finest wines from this estate I've tasted, and the quality here continues to skyrocket." —Jeb Dunnuck
"92–94. Barrel Sample. This wine has a definite firm structure with its initial dry tannins. Slowly the black fruits seep through to promise balance, richness in structure and fruits for the future." —Wine Enthusiast
