Château Léoville Las Cases, „Clos du Marquis”, Saint-Julien rouge

René Gabriel, WeinWisser: „Sehr dunkles Weinrot mit rubin-lila Rand. Tiefes, aromatisches Bouquet, schwarze Fruchtnoten, getrocknete Pflaumenschalen. Im Gaumen mit mittlerem Charme, im weichen Extrakt angenehm süsse Noten, Malznuancen, aromatisches Finale mit toller Süsse. Galanter, sehr gut gemachter Zweitwein (von Léoville-Las- Cases).”

Robert Parker: „For many years, Las Cases’ second wine has been the equivalent of a classified growth in the Medoc. The 2008 Clos du Marquis may be one of the two or three finest second wines I have tasted from proprietor Jean-Hubert Delon. A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that came in at 13.5% natural alcohol, it is a pure, deep, full-bodied effort displaying classic aromas of creme de cassis, licorice, and crushed rocks. On the palate, there is a sensational black fruit character, no hard edges, and a seamless integration of all the component parts. This wine should drink beautifully for 15 or more years. 90-93 Punkte”
