(Clos du Marquis) Dark garnet color; intriguing savory black fruit and beefy nose; structured tart red fruit, cherry palate with menthol notes and depth, noticeable Petit Verdot; medium-plus finish 92+ pts. (65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot)
(Clos du Marquis) Classic nose of cedar, red currants, tar, mint and earth. Aromatic and perfumey. Waves of currant and cherry with ripe, chewy tannins and nice acidity that keeps the fruit flowing on the finish. Very pure and with utmost elegance. Drinking well now but go 8-15 years more. A beauty.
