  This is still drinking well at 17 years. Tasted immediately after opening and at 1 hour, 2, 3 and 4 hours in the decanter. No benefit waiting more than an hour. Still plenty of Dark fruits (black berries, dark cherries). Fruits tend to fade quickly in the glass but a fresh pour from the decanter brings them back. After 4 hours the fruit doesn't stay as long. Mouth feel is velvety with pleasant soft integrated tannins and mild to moderate acidity. Moderate finish with quick fade of dark fruits to leather. Very enjoyable. Should still have life after 2023.

  Very old school, which I like. Could have wished for a little bit more fruit, but will probably improve with further aging.

  Plums and blackcurrants on the nose, with a little toast and some red berries. The first sip was disappointingly bland, so much so that I opened a Branaire-Ducru 06 instead, but I was proved wrong - a few hours later it had opened beautifully, with very silky notes of blackcurrant and plum, then a little spicy blackberry, and wafts of dark raspberry, hints of wild strawberry, plus a little menthol midpalate. It's simply excellent, a classic combination of silky elegance and real depth midpalate. The best Clos du Marquis I have ever had. **93 pts**
