Clos du Marquis, from Léoville-Las Cases, is a superb, single-vineyard St Julien in its own right, especially in outstanding vintages such as 2009, yielding a medium-bodied Bordeaux full of poised, black fruit.
"Now positioned as a totally separate vineyard and a real clos (enclosed walled vineyard), this blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from Jean-Hubert Delon is a beauty. Creme de cassis notes intermixed with some vanillin, crushed rock and spring flowers jump from the glass. Full-bodied and powerful (nearly 14% natural alcohol), this is a generously endowed, rich wine that was first made in 1902. The 2009 should drink well for 20-25 years. Readers need to think of it as a true classified growth, although technically it is not" 93/100 Robert Parker
