Tasted April 2022. Quite restrained at first, then unfurling with blackberry, red plum, and a distinct graphite aroma. Bright herbal, mint notes. This has a lot of fresh, cool character, and fresh fruit but a savoury, classic feel and firm tannins that will age gracefully.
From bottle, the 2021 Clos du Marquis is just as impressive and serious as it was in cask. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of blackcurrants, lilac, burning embers and pencil shavings, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with a concentrated core of lively fruit, sweet but abundant tannins and a long, palate-staining finish.
