Offers violet and blackberry on the nose, with tar. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a fruity, minerally aftertaste. Long and silky. Very serious for the vintage. Best after 2013. ?JS

As usual, the second wine, the 2006 Clos du Marquis, exhibits a character similar to the grand vin, but it is a more fruit-forward effort with sweeter tannins, and a more precocious, evolved personality. With super intense black cherry and cedary notes intermixed with hints of licorice and barrique, this deep, medium to full-bodied, velvety-textured wine is ideal for consumption over the next 15+ years.

Erstaunlich tiefe Farbe. Die Nase wirkt etwas grün, leicht krautig, Pflaumenschalen, welke Teeblätter, ziemlich tiefgründig. Malziger Gaumen, leichter Luftton, Dörrfrüchte, von der Extraktion her Bitternoten aufweisend, gutes Potential. trinken (2010 - 2020)
