1996 Clos du Marquis, St Julien

Clos du Marquis, St Julien
The second wine of Château Léoville-Las-Cases, this is one of the finest St. Julians and also one of the best second wines being produced. The 1996 is the same elegant style one would expect from the first wine; it has outstanding depth and ripe sweet fruits in perfect harmony with its tannins, acidity and alcohol. Drink now and for a further 6-8 years.Château Léoville Las Cases

Clos du Marquis, St Julien
A terrific Clos du Marquis, and clearly of second or third-growth quality, this dark purple-colored wine reveals structure, brooding backwardness, and rich, expansive character. The wine exhibits plenty of sweet kirsch black currant fruit intermixed with high quality, subtle new oak, and steely, mineral characteristics. Rich and medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannin, this is a dazzling Clos du Marquis.
