Clos Du Marquis 1993

Description

    Second Lable OF Leoville-Las Cases

Wine Advocate #109 Feb 1997 Robert M. Parker, Jr. Rated 87 I am not a great believer in the quality of most second wines, as they tend to be a dumping ground for everything deemed not desirable for the grand vin. However, such second wines as Forts de Latour, Bahans-Haut-Brion, Pavillon Rouge de Chateau Margaux, and Clos du Marquis are serious wines that possess the character of their more complex and concentrated siblings, yet are more supple and accessible. Clos du Marquis is not to be missed in the 1993-95 vintages. A cedary, spicy, tobacco, blackcurrant-scented nose offers plenty of attraction in this dark ruby-colored wine. Medium-bodied, with excellent richness, and a sweet, round palate impression, this is a delicious St.-Julien 1993 Clos Du Marquis The Second Lable OF Léoville-Las Cases was one of the first estates in Bordeaux to introduce a second label, Clos du Marquis. However, Clos du Marquis is a separate wine RARE 750 mL
