2009 Clos du Marquis, St. Julien

Clos du Marquis, St. Julien
From terroir outside the historic Léoville estate, Clos du Marquis offers a different expression of St Julien. Made in a fresher, smoother style with a dense bramble nose, succulent damsony and plum fruit and very fine-grained tannins, this is a smooth, seductive wine.Château Léoville Las Cases

Black red, smoky nose with deep, rather discreet fruit, great purity, quite reserved, extremely elegant.

Too much Merlot in here, he says. Very deep crimson. Hint of smoked meat on the nose. Not as immediately charming as the Petit Lion on the nose though very sweet and Merlot on the palate. A little dry on the finish. Neither fish now fowl?

Clos du Marquis, St. Julien
Now positioned as a totally separate vineyard and a real clos (enclosed walled vineyard), this blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from Jean-Hubert Delon is a beauty. Creme de cassis notes intermixed with some vanillin, crushed rock and spring flowers jump from the glass.

Full-bodied and powerful (nearly 14% natural alcohol), this is a generously endowed, rich wine that was first made in 1902. The 2009 should drink well for 20-25 years. Readers need to think of it as a true classified growth, although technically it is not.

Raspberry and wild currant on the nose. Full-bodied, with superfine tannins and a long, pretty finish. Plenty of currant and mineral character. Builds on the finish. Tannic.
