Clos du Marquis 2006 is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based red from the Saint-Julien appellation of Bordeaux. The 2006 vintage produced wines with a firm, traditional structure and a savoury profile, featuring notes of black cherry, cedar and liquorice. This release displays a deep garnet colour and a medium to full-bodied, velvety texture. While it shares the racy character of its sister estate, Léoville Las Cases, it offers a more fruit-forward personality with sweet, integrated tannins. The palate is polished and intense, with a long finish that reveals hints of lead pencil and forest floor.

Vinous
Bright, full ruby-red. Ripe aromas of blackberry, kirsch, cedar and sexy oak. Rich, broad and pliant, with chewy, vibrant flavors of black fruits and licorice. This boasts excellent texture and depth for a second wine. Finishes with substantial dusty, fine tannins and excellent length. A serious and full vintage for Clos du Marquis, but less forbidding now that it's in bottle than a sample I tried from barrel last spring.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2009
