Note di degustazione
From a blend of 65% Cab Sauv, 22% Merlot and 13% Cab Franc the 2011 Clos du Marquis is clean, pure, focussed, richly fruited and with nice mid-palate density. It skips along nicely and finishes with decent length. Definitely of Cru Classe quality this year.

The 2011 Clos du Marquis has a pretty nose with vivacious red fruit, rose petal and light tertiary scents. Nicely defined. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannins, fine acidity, a little pinched and lacking length, but at least there is decent freshness. Not bad, but I have had better bottles than this example. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.
Tasted blind. Some creaminess on the nose. Lots of cassis and some flattering tannin management. Positive attack. A decent drink with some juicy fruit. (JR)
The 2011 Clos du Marquis has plenty of fruit on the nose: raspberry, cranberry and pomegranate, sous-bois mixed with cigar humidor and wild mint scents that emerge with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine sappy entry and cohesive with a fine bead of acidity. This is not a deep, fleshy nor fruit-driven Clos du Marquis, but it is finely proportioned with a lovely saline finish. Drink now and over the next 6-8 years.
