"Slim and supple, savoury blue fruits, shot through with campfire and liquorice, crayon and roses, well handled in the vintage. Good Margaux typicity and has ageing ability in the mid term. Harvest 25 September to 4 October. 40% new oak. Now including the vines from Château Marojallia, but also reducing the percentage of 1st wine overall, so really focusing on the best plots." (04/2025)
Yves Beck: 92-93 Punkte
"Nuancen von Schwarztee, Iris, Tabakblättern und Sichuan-Pfeffer im Bouquet des Marquis de Terme. Am Gaumen hat der Wein einen cremigen Auftakt, der eine gewisse Dichte bildet. Die Extraktion scheint mir gut gelungen, aber es gibt offensichtlich genügend Substanz, um dies zu assimilieren. Der Abgang ist übrigens frisch, was für den Wein spricht. So schafft er es, Kraft und Finesse miteinander zu verbinden." (04/2025)

"Erstaunlich dunkle Farbe; rauchig, kühl, dunkelfruchtig im Duft; am Gaumen satte Frucht, seidige Tannine, lebhafte Säure, nicht ausgesprochen langanhaltend, jedoch mit guter Harmonie aller Elemente. Gelungen." (04/2025)
Falstaff: 91 Punkte
"Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Noten von Heidelbeeren, Brombeerkonfit, zart nach Lakritze und Orangenzesten, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, elegant, gute Komplexität, frisch, reife Kirschfrucht im Abgang, bleibt haften, vielversprechendes Potenzial." - Peter Moser (04/2025)

"(Margaux; 60% Cabernet Sauvignon; 38% Merlot; 2% Petit Verdot; a final yield of 38 hl/ha; 13% alcohol; tasted twice, the second time at the UGC press tasting). A wine that, in a way, is almost flattered by the vintage – which seems like an odd thing to say. That said, I can’t help but feel as though the extraction has been pushed just a touch further than would have been my preference in the search for more volume in the mouth. That, for me, comes at the expense of delineation and detail, rendering the fruit a little less precise. Tasted a second time, I find more clarity and precision on the attack and the front of the palate, but it still loses a little of its shape in the mouth towards the finish. But the floral aromatics are enticing and even if the wood will take a little longer to be fully integrated it reinforces that florality and with it the Margaux typicity of this wine." - Colin Hay (04/2025)
