2000 Clos du Marquis

[winoweenie]

Time to start tasting the 2nd wines of the big boys and here's a good'un. 2nd label of Leoville Las Cases. Deep purple with ruby edge. Nose has lots of similarities to its' big bro. Black fruits with some red berries, spices, tobacco leaf, with a tinge of flowers. All come over on the taste along with sweetish cocoa. Big entry, heavy center, and a solid 4+ lapper finish. Still has some solid layers of tannions that need another 4-6 to resolve. Super juice. 91/90. Bought on the 2nd tranch at 45. 13% alc. WW
