This shows beautiful aromas of flowers raspberries and blackberries that follow through to a full body with ultra silky tannins and a long long finish. It lasts for minutes. Best in 2018 or later. 11/13
Cellar Selection* A great wine packed with black currant fruits sweet tannins and beautiful acidity. Made by the team at Léoville las Cases this wine reveals an elegant restrained structure ripe and delicious fruit and a darker tighter texture for aging. Roger Voss
This has a lush edge with seamlessly layered blueberry blackberry and boysenberry fruit along with a racy graphite edge and a back end of coffee and bittersweet ganache notes. A solid tug of iron is buried on the finish. Best from 2015 through 2030. (JM Web-2013)
The 2010 Clos du Marquis has quite a high-toned floral bouquet with strong cedar and mint aromas that render it not unlike a Pauillac. The palate is medium-bodied with strict tannins and a fine bead of acidity. It is missing a little length and is more austere than expected but it has the substance to age well. Patience needed. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the BI Wines & Spirits 10-Year On tasting. - By Neal Martin on February 2020
