Chateau Marquis de Terme 2009, Margaux

Appellation

Margaux, Bordeaux, France

Tasting Notes

Bright, full ruby-red. Sexy, syrah-like aromas of blackberry, violet, smoke, game and underbrush. Densely packed and fine-grained, with lovely inner-mouth floral lift to its crushed berry flavors. A very rich and sweet style of Margaux, but the broad, dusty, building tannins call for some cellaring. Boasts excellent length for a wine from this chateau.

Pairing

Beef and Venison
