This lot comprises eight bottles of 1990 vintage Clos du Marquis from the Saint-Julien appellation in Bordeaux.

Saint-Julien is an appellation in Médoc by the Gironde estuary, adjacent to Pauillac. The predominant grape variety here is Cabernet Sauvignon and the wines are powerful, complex and long-lived. The wines from the northern part of the appellation are comparable to those from Pauillac, while in the south the wines tend to be more elegant like those from Margaux. In the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855 there are no premier cru wine estates in Saint-Julien, although the best grand crus of the region, including Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, would most likely be rated even higher today.

1990 was a great year for Bordeaux wine. The warm, sunny weather was hardly interrupted, producing fantastic wines in Pomerol and Saint-Émilion in particular. This wine will also taste magnificent today.

The 1990 vintage Clos du Marquis was last awarded 88 points by Robert Parker. James Suckling rated the wine 90 points.

The fill levels are excellent (into neck). The labels and capsules are in perfect condition.
Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.
