James Suckling
Complex aromas of dried flowers, dark fruits such as currants and plums and then a wet-earth undertone. Wet licorice as well. Full body, firm and silky tannins and an entrancing finish. Tight and polished. Drink in 2022 but hard not to drink now.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2014 Clos du Marquis, a blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, has kept that soupçon of opulence that I observed when this was in barrel; it has layers of blackberry, raspberry coulis, incense and iris emerging from the glass whilst maintaining superb delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip on the entry. Graphite-infused red and black fruit on the front palate whilst the back is adorned with just a hint of blue fruit that lends this a more feminine allure. There is lovely balance here, fresh and focused with a touch of graphite borrowed from over the border in Pauillac. This is an excellent Clos du Marquis that will give 20 years of pleasure.

The nose is elegant. It reveals notes of fresh red fruit and cassis combined with notes of flowers and slight notes of spices and a touch of liquorice. The mouth is precise, full, fat, relatively elegant, straight and offers a small concentration, a silky matter, juicy fruits and nice tension. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of raspberry and crushed strawberry associated with small notes of black fruit (in background). Tannins are fine, elegant and slightly grainy. Good length.
