A full, rich red with blueberry and blackberry character. It’s chewy, yet the tannins are polished and poised. The finish is long and focused. Shows excellent potential.

The Sénéclauze family, with Ludovic David as director, are working extremely hard to refine and finesse the wines from this property and it is starting to show its full potential. This 2019 has tons of anthocyanes giving a rich purple colour, followed by liquorice, sage and baked blackberry aromatics on the nose that make the whole experience extremely welcoming. There's austerity as the tannins pull things inwards through the palate with a trace of astringency on the finish, just the right level to suggest a good long life ahead. Impressed with the density and the crushed menthol on the finish. Tasted twice three weeks apart. Drinking Window 2027 - 2043
Rich and explosive, the 2019 Marquis de Terme sure makes a statement. A rush of inky dark fruit hits the palate, followed by sweet floral and spice notes that develop with a bit of coaxing. More than anything else, the 2019 is a wine of real density and succulence. This is an impressive wine.
