Clos du Marquis 2024

Description

Cool blue fruit, crayon, violets, liquorice and plum. Deeply perfumed and gorgeous purple colour. Juicy and plentiful, clean and lean with some slate and liquorice. Can feel the terroir straight away, grippy and intense with a lovely bouncy layer of dark fruit underneath. Richness and texture is there, this is a serious wine with so much concentration balanced against straight and direct tannins. Funnelled but salty, juicy, sweet, sour - all combining here to be so elegant and enjoyable. A very accomplished wine not trying too hard. Cool and delightfully enjoyable. Stylish. Ageing 50% new barrels for 16 months. 7.6% press. 3.62pH. Drinking window: 2029-2042. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
