92 points, Vinous

The 2015 Clos Marsalette is rich, powerful and authoritative, just as it was from barrel. Black cherry, smoke, rose petal, menthol, licorice and savory herbs fill out the wine's ample frame effortlessly, but there is good energy to back things up. Time in the glass brings out the 2015's aromatic dimension. Clos Marsalette is arguably the most extroverted, flamboyant wine in Pessac-Léognan. Tasted two times.

Tasting Notes: Upon the first swirl, the Chateau Clos Marsalette Pessac-Léognan 2015 reveals an intense and captivating bouquet of crushed blackcurrant, dark plum, and ripe black cherry, beautifully interwoven with layers of sweet cedar, vanilla bean, and baking spice from its new oak aging. Deeper aromatic nuances of tobacco leaf, graphite, and a hint of forest floor add profound complexity, reflecting its gravelly terroir. On the palate, the wine is incredibly concentrated and expansive, delivering a rich tapestry of dark fruit flavors that mirror the nose. Notes of dark chocolate, licorice, and a distinctive earthy, gravelly minerality unfold, all supported by the powerful yet polished tannins and the vibrant acidity. The texture is velvety and layered, leading to an exceptionally long, opulent, and complex finish, leaving a lingering impression of dark fruit, savory herbs, and a noble, dry extract. This is a truly impressive and age-worthy Bordeaux, showcasing the quality of the 2015 vintage and the elegance of Pessac-Léognan.
