Marquis de Terme (Margaux) 2012

(90-91) pts James Suckling

Very pretty fruit here with blueberries and wet earth. Full body, with velvety tannins and a delicious finish. Pretty acidity too.

90 pts Wine Spectator

Well-focused, with an alder frame harnessing the core of crushed plum, currant preserves and raspberry coulis. Hints of bay leaf and tobacco line the fleshy finish. Best from 2016 through 2022. 6,625 cases made.

Wine Advocate

A soft, fruit-forward style of wine from Marquis de Terme, this blend is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with an important percentage of Merlot, but also some Petit Verdot. It has a dense ruby/purple color, medium to full body, and notes of licorice, graphite, and blue and red fruits. Drink it over the next 15+ years.
