2000 Clos du Marquis

[winoweenie]

Had lunch with a new biz associate who is a wino-in-the-making. He said somehting about wanting to try Bordeaux more seriously than B&G so took this and the 2000 La Lagune to lunch yesterday. It was almost like watching an ephinany. He smelled, he swirled, he sipped, he smiled then said HOLY $%^()*. I'm sure he liked the juice. Then after a tad of conversation about biz I poured the La Lagune, telling him in advance that it was more refined than the baby LLC. Surprisingly his reaction was derned near identical but without the exclamation mark! The Clos is still 3-5 from its' peak and the La is about the same but both are very enjoyable now with decanting for 1-1&1/2 hours. both definately outstanding bottles. WW
