2005 Clos du Marquis

Clos du Marquis årgang 2005 fra Château Léoville Las Cases 2. Cru i Saint Julien.

Wine Spectator 93/100 (marts 2008):
"Fabulous aromas of crushed raspberry, blackberry, mineral and licorice follow through to a full-bodied palate. This is chewy yet silky, with a long, long finish. Balanced and powerful".

Decanter (Jane Anson) 92/100:
"Those dream conditions of 2005 have given a wine that's supple and approachable. The tannins have relaxed and there's a sense of breathing between the lines of dark fruit, liquorice and pepper. It's a gorgeous moment to drink this – it's still young, with firm, brambly fruits but the structure is open, softly textured and welcoming. Rich, impressive and extremely drinkable. 1 % Petit Verdot completes the blend".

Robert Parker 91/100:
"The superb second wine, the 2005 Clos du Marquis, reflects the utter brilliance of the 2005 grand vin. It boasts an inky/ruby/purple color along with a sweet perfume of lead pencil, ripe cherries and black currants, and hints of earth and vanillin. Dense, chewy, fleshy, and full-bodied, this beauty will be drinkable in 3-4 years, and should keep for 15-20".

Jancis Robinson 16/20:
"Tasted blind. Dark purplish crimson. Straightforward. Good acidity and tannin".
