Shows steeped plum, boysenberry and blackberry notes that form the core, with enough depth to absorb the apple wood and mesquite notes that line it, while a taut iron note drives the finish. Features lively savory and tobacco notes that add energy through the finish. A bit rigid in terms of structure, but that's the vintage. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2025 through 2038.

The Clos du Marquis is a separate part of the Leoville las Cases estate. The second wine, this is ripe, densely rich & fruity, with fine lines of acidity & spice. It will be ready to drink from 2022.
