On the nose, Clos du Marquis 2016 intensely expresses notes of black fruits (black cherries) and balsamic scents of cedar. The entry in the mouth is dynamic, with a very nice acid support and develops into a powerful mid-palate, structured with elegance but with a tannicity that impresses with its precision. To the point of giving an impression of taste tension. The tannin is present here while being enveloped. This is great art. A Clos du Marquis astonishing in its power and balance. This Saint-Julien has a bright future in terms of aging capacity. Superb!
Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Clos du Marquis opens with medicinal, cherry cough syrup scents followed by a core of plum preserves and crème de cassis plus a touch of wild sage. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is coated with maturing black fruits and dried mint flavors, framed by chewy tannins and finishing with a refreshing lift.
Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2009 Clos du Marquis gives up notes of warm cassis, mocha, plum preserves and tobacco with a touch of Mediterranean herbs. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is solidly structured with firm, chewy tannins backing up the muscular fruit core, culminating in a mineral-laced finish.
