Michael Schuster: Black purple; fresh, pure, ripe-blackcurrant and minerals; a lovely, elegant, fleshy balance; fresh and finely tannic without excess or deficiency; long, ripe, plump, fairly complex, and with excellent fruit length. A particularly refined and classy Clos du Marquis, one of the finest I can remember for a long time, and which will give a great deal of satisfaction relatively early. 2015–25+. 16
