The 2013 Marquis-de-Terme has a rather conservative nose that's like other Margaux 2013s. A bottle sample was tinged with greenness (though I noticed how a subsequent magnum, when given an hour decanting, manifested more fruit concentration). The palate is medium-bodied with a saline entry, a little bitterness on the back palate and a structured, bell pepper-tinged finish. What this lacks in depth it compensates with attractive harmony and I noticed less astringency than its Margaux peers. This is what you might call a "useful" 2013 Bordeaux that performs above expectations. Tasted May 2016.
