Kathleen Ward of Acumen Winery shared this beauty in honor of Denis Malbec. Clos du Marquis is the second label of Château Léoville-Las Cases next to Chateau Latour in Paulliac. (Juillac tributary separating its vineyards from those of Château Latour in Pauillac.)

Always reliable and my favorite 2nd label. Very approachable right now, not nearly as brooding as other vintages I've had.

Yes. Everything you would expect from this. Im drinking younger than I normally would but this is very full and has softened well in 8 years. Wonderful on the nose with caramel and vanillas. A few more years and this could be 9.5+.

Light currant notes, but generally lacking fruit. Thin and drying. Maybe bretty.
