Château Marquis de Terme Margaux 1855 3ième Cru 2018

This is an estate that is located right in the heart of the appellation near to Cantenac Brown and Rauzan Ségla, and yet remains discreet. It really delivers in 2018, with cigar box, grilled cedar and vanilla bean, marrying the exuberance of the vintage but keeping Margaux freshness and balance. Tasted at a vertical of the estate in June, and again over the summer.
