Chateau Marquis De Terme 2016 Margaux 4th Growth

The 2016 Marquis-de-Terme has a nicely detailed bouquet, perhaps not as vigorous or as intense as the 2015 last year, but opening nicely with raspberry, blueberry and a touch of violet. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp and tightly-wound black fruit tinged with graphite, grippy towards the finish, which is concise if not prolonged.
