WTN: 2001 Clos du Marquis

by David M. Bueker » Thu Feb 19, 2009 9:28 pm

I purchased this on futures several years ago for about $24. Not getting that kind of deal anymore.

It's drinking quite well now. It has not developed much in the way of secondary character in my glacial cellar, but the edges have smoothed out some, leaving a more graceful expression of St. Julien than in the past. I would think another 3-5 years would do only good things to this wine, but who really knows when it comes to wine aging. It's certainly approachable right now, so drinking one every six months to a year is a very appealing thought.

Glad to hear you had a good 01 Bdx experience, albeit left bank.

I have lots of good 2001 Bordeaux experiences, especially on the left bank. :D
