critic reviews
The 2003 Clos du Marquis does not have the amplitude or complexity of the 2003 Pontensac on the nose, with slightly muffled red fruit, leather and baking powder scents. It does improve, however, in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, tobacco, light graphite and dried blood notes. Maybe just missing the brightness and cut on the finish? Drink now. Tasted at the château.
In 2003, this was the second wine of Leoville Las Cases as opposed to a separate entity. A brilliant effort, it was harvested between September 11 and 26, and boasts 13.3% natural alcohol. The final blend was 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot. Its deep garnet/ruby/plum color is followed by notes of bay leaf, black currants, licorice and lead pencil shavings. The wine is deep, full-bodied, rich and fully mature, but its length, richness, freshness and complete feel suggest it will continue to drink well for 7-8 years. Its a beauty.
