1996 Clos Du Marquis

This dry red wine is deep ruby in colour with paler rim. On nose it has blackcurrant, red cherry aromas with trace of smoke, vanilla, mint and earth. It has medium acidity and body and the tannin is medium+ and fine grained. On palate, it gives red cherry, herbaceous, earthy and spicy with medium+ length. It can be kept for a few more years but can be drunk beautifully now. (90)
