“Rocking stuff.”

Jeb Dunnuck • 96 / 100

<p>"Rocking stuff, the 2018 Clos du Marquis checks in 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc that hit 14.5% alcohol with a healthy pH of 3.64 and an IPT of 79. It boasts a deep, saturated purple color as well as ripe, powerful, yet complex aromatics. Full-bodied and rich, with a stacked mid-palate, this beauty builds on the palate with ripe, polished tannin, ample oomph, and a great finish. It’s a powerful, concentrated wine from the team at Léoville Las Cases that will benefit from 5-7 years of bottle age and keep for two decades."</p>

“Fleshy in feel, with steeped plum and boysenberry flavors.”

Wine Spectator • 95 / 100

<p>"Warm and fleshy in feel, with steeped plum and boysenberry flavors. Light ganache and licorice notes underscore the finish. Slightly brooding in feel today, but retains a healthy core of fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc."</p>

“Black-olive character with violet undertones.”

James Suckling • 95 / 100

<p>"The purple-fruit and black-olive character with violet undertones is wonderful here. Full-bodied, yet reserved and intense. Finesse. Graphite and minerality. Layered."</p>

“Flamboyant scents of kirsch, crushed black cherries and warm cassis.”
