2024, Château Marquis de Terme, MARGAUX, 4ème Grand Cru ClasséLast year EP $61. 50 Bordeaux Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot. The 2024 Marquis de Terme is elegant, perfumed and nicely lifted. Crushed flowers, mint, spice, red cherry, cinnamon and rose petal lend attractive aromatic presence. This mid weight, gracious Margaux is impeccably done. Its the sort of wine that is not trying to be anything more than was possible in this vintage. A burst of fruit punctuates the finish. Tasted three times.
