Expert Reviews
Deep aromatics of blackcurrant, chocolate and tobacco. Supple and lively. Lovely layering of fleshy fruit, grippy and chalky tannins and soft spice - liquorice, clove, crushed stones, cedar and vanilla. Something very alluring about this. Massy in texture, yet the fruit and acidity flavours expand vertically creating an expansive mouthfeel with lots of elegance, lift and openness. Will be easy to enjoy with undercurrants of power and thrust after the tannins have softened and melted into the frame a bit more.
Blackberries and pencil shavings with blueberries and dark chocolate follow through to a medium body with a solid core of pretty fruit and a polished and refined palate. The tannin structure is very impressive, yet there is an underlying freshness. Drink after 2027.
The 2022 Marquis de Terme feels just a little simplistic compared to its peers. Fine delineation, though I would have liked more personality. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry, chewy and a bit forced on the finish. The 2023 and 2024 Marquis de Terme are better. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.
A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2022 Marquis de Terme expresses aromas of oak, spices, pencil shavings and ripe dark berries. Concentrated but a bit over-extracted and with firm and chunky tannins, it reveals a broad-shouldered, punchy style that privileges power over charm.
