Most owners land in the same happy place: this is a red-wine finish done right. Cherry, red berries and ripe grape run from nose to finish, wrapped in French oak, spice and a bit of leather. It drinks dry rather than sweet, and the 47% sit so well most people don't notice them. The cask flatters the cane instead of burying it.

How does HSE Château Marquis de Terme Finish 2006 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Dry, berry-rich agricole with a red-wine finish A textbook example of a finish serving the rum rather than hijacking it — round, berry-rich and dry. If you want sweetness or a soft agricole, this leans wine-dry.

This is what a red wine finish should taste like! It is present without taking over the rum. Red fruits, berries and cherry remain from the nose to the finish. There are also spices (cumin, cloves) - and a hint of sulphur, which leaves a little salt in the mouth and finish. Despite the low alcohol content, a lot of flavor comes together in the mouth. Reminiscent of a very elegant 2008 Ten Cane. A little too little action, but I could drink this almost every day.

Certainly a good Agricole, but I can't cope with this red wine finish! You either like it or, as in my case, not so much!
Review by TheRhumhoe
A superb bottling from HSE, who have perfectly mastered their subject with this finish and this Vintage. The nose offers viticultural tones of red wine and grape, but also carries red fruits such as cherry and dried fruit. Spices are very present, notably chili, vanilla, pepper and nutmeg. A lovely woodiness and a hint of honeyed sugar cane accompany this round, gourmand and intense profile. On the palate, it's a dry, elegant, vinous and complex rum. The wine is finished in Marquis de Terme, a rather masterful touch that adds that extra touch of pleasant complexity. Red fruits (cherry), dried fruits and spices are also very present. Agricultural tones come to the fore with sugarcane, but remain subtle so as not to unbalance the profile. At 47%, the alcohol is very well integrated, neither too little nor too much. The finish is long, dry and tannic, almost astringent with the wine barrel. The spices are more prominent, as is a roasted side of walnuts and leather. The fruit remains red and dry, accompanying this elegant profile throughout. This is yet another example of HSE's remarkable expertise and willingness to think outside the agricultural box.
Review by Eric Frechin
Very pleasantly surprised by this finish. I was a bit afraid that the barrel would bring dryness, on the contrary I have something fruity sweet, a pleasant winey side. The juice is very well balanced on the nose and on the palate, with just enough wood to highlight the fruitiness. I find the alcohol at the right degree
Review by Agricoler
Small HSE tasting: Significantly better than the sherry finish. Very nice red fruits and still a nice agricole influence. Overall the better ratio of finish to base product. Really very round thing.
Review by shukali
Surprisingly round and berry-intense taste.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Interesting finish, but not round for me. Has a very dry finish. Quite fruity but hardly any sweetness. I'd rather stick to the 'normal' HSE without finish.
Review by Rabat
Very pleasant rum, a real delight! Often the case with finishes from around the world.
Review by Djehey
Tasted with fest rum. Nice balance. Aromatic in the tradition of the XO, with depth probably provided by the red wine cask.
Review by Righrum
Too much wood and spices and I don't appreciate the cask influence, but I recognise it as a good pick because it gets along well with this rum profile.
Review by alex
Superb. Goes down easily. Very indulgent, nice length, alcohol perfectly integrated, in short, very good rum.
Review by Christoph
Actually tastes more like dry red wine than aged agricole.
Review by Andi
Lots of red fruit notes, cherry, berries, plus slightly spicy notes.
Review by benoit burger
Top. Very present woodiness with a little fruity side (grape, prunes) probably brought by the finish, complex with a nice length.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Very pastry-like nose: vanilla, honey, candied fruits (apricots)... with a hint of woodiness. The nose is very promising on the sour cherry. On the palate there is a lot of indulgence and body. We have grape, candied fruits with a beautiful woody and spicy length. HSE delivers here a nice demonstration of what a finish should be: at the service of the rum. Probably not worth the famous Marquis de Terme 2005, but still a damn well-done bottling!
Review by Morgan Garet
The first nose is dominated by gourmand notes of caramel, chocolate, and sugarcane. After a long opening, the fruits take over to give a very pleasant whole. On the palate, it starts with woody, tobacco and spicy notes. Then it opens up to more gourmand notes reminiscent of the nose. The wine finish is quite noticeable on the palate. Average finish on tobacco and fruity notes.
Review by ElReyTristan
A very flattering nose with an almost overripe coconut. A palette of nuts and dried fruits (raisins, prunes and walnuts) and even a little Nutella aspect. On the palate it is very divisive, I admit it's not for everyone. Not much strength and the marking only highlights the spice of the product and the long, slightly spicy nut. In other words, it is complex and rich but monotonous, the spices. No more sweetness, and very very little freshness. So despite the complexity, a lack of balance.
Review by Double Barrel
Not the same focus and concentration than the first batch but still very very good and highly quaffable.
Review by Alexander Rasch
My RumRatings review from 5 years ago: The rum is a feast for the senses on the nose. A distinct note of red grapes, wine, vanilla, and wood flows into the nose. There is also a slight grassy agricole note with some spice. On the palate, the rum is creamy and at the same time dry. Red fruit and ripe grapes are captured by an intense wood note. A subtle sweetness mixes with spice and bitter substances. The finish is dry and the French oak from the wine barrel clearly takes command here. Distinct bitter substances pair with light agricole notes. An excellent rum with a great red wine finish, which is very distinctive and fresh. The finish is very present and almost pushes the agricole aside a bit. The 47% still have a good body and do not stand out. Very successful.
Review by Alexandre Rolin
Tasted and bought on site, a real gem. A nice power and complexity on the palate. Really a crush
Review by Cédric Meyers
Even though the nose is very pleasant (around wine and cherry), the palate is a bit less so with this very aggressive side of chili or pepper.
Review by Benjam b
A delight, bought in Martinique (top quality-price ratio!)
Review by Jacques etdom
Beautiful rum, nice finish, it is round, fruity with a nice woodiness. A nice contribution from the finish. However, the price is too high.
Review by John Coffey
Red wine side doesn’t attract me.
Review by Maxence (Les Tontons Trinqueurs)
Pretty well done! An interesting red wine finish
