ripe Zinfandel fruit and spice in a fresh package

Chateau Marquis de Terme, Margaux, France 2016 Chateau Teyssier ripe Zinfandel fruit and spiceImpressive aromas of fresh summer berries, slate and toasty oak. This has a very succulent array of ripe red plums and berries and delivers a smooth, long and appealingly grainy edge of very plush, flavorful tannins. A lot to like here. A blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot. 94 Pts James Suckling
