I am not a great believer in the quality of most second wines, as they tend to be a dumping ground for everything deemed not desirable for the grand vin. However, such second wines as Forts de Latour, Bahans-Haut-Brion, Pavillon Rouge de Chateau Margaux, and Clos du Marquis are serious wines that possess the character of their more complex and concentrated siblings, yet are more supple and accessible. Clos du Marquis is not to be missed in the 1993-95 vintages. A cedary, spicy, tobacco, blackcurrant-scented nose offers plenty of attraction in this dark ruby-colored wine. Medium-bodied, with excellent richness, and a sweet, round palate impression, this is a delicious St.-Julien for drinking over the next 7-8 years.
