Clos du Marquis--Vintage 2000
Saint-Julien
Tasting Note: One of the great sleepers of the vintage and probably the best Clos de Marquis I have ever tasted, this wine could easily compete with many of the vintage's classified growths. Dense, opaque purple-coloured, with crème de cassis, vanilla, and cherry notes, medium to full body, an unctuous texture, low acidity, and a more evolved style than its bigger sibling, Léoville-Las-Cases, this dense, chewy, remarkably concentrated and stylish wine should be at its best between 2005 and 2018. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 146, April 2003.
