Thursday, November 20, 2008 - drank over 3+ hrs. when uncorked felt closed. double decanted. took about 1+ hrs to open up. hard to get it to open. had to pour a little in the glass to get the most from nose. when opend, the clos du marquis started showing. with a silky nose and a body to match. smells and taste sweet. med length with slight well rounded tannins and slight heat. however, upon further tasting, palate felt inconsistent and at times silky at times jagged and sour. nose was fine with typical but faint marquis nose, but felt the wine isnt one to keep. this isnt a great wine but it is a good one. have high regards for a clos du marquis, which is why 87-88 points. debated with friends morgan/tk who suggested 80+ points but felt its a bit harsh, considering the overall good experience in relation with the good price. *edit*- changed 86pt
