Chateau Marquis De Terme Vintage 1986

Located in the heart of the Margaux appellation, the origins of this wine date back to the 15th century, but its name will be given in 1762, by François de Peguilhan, Marquis de Terme. The Seneclauze family owns the property since 1935. The 1986 vintage was very good for the region, but just shy of great.

Typical blend Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc. 75cl bottle. Abv 12%

Bottle condition, capsule good, label bin soiled, wine level in neck

Pretty much the same experience as last time, about a year ago.
Initial black and red fruit with some leather notes, then a more floral aroma takes the lead for the remaining 2-3 hours of consumption.
Quite structured, and a great match with beef filet with pepper sauce.
