As you note, it depends on taste. I like a bit of age on better Beaujolais, and think the good 05s are great now, I loved the '99 Tardive in 2010, etc.. I find that the Tardive is one Beaujolais I think can really shut down, but 2012 is a bit lighter vintage. So who knows!

I don't really have expeirence with the Griffe du Marquis, but a friend raved over the '12 recently. I have a bottle of the '11, but worry about being shut down-

Sorry not to be of help. I think if it was me I'd drink regular 13 over next few years, 13 Marquis and 12 Tardive after that. But that's just guessing
