about this wine:

"A beautiful svelte nose : jammy cherry toasty fruit. Still much too closed but with masses of powerful blackcherry. Sweet & pure. Well-integrated tannins...second wine of Leoville Las Cases in 1996 offers a sumptuous, rich bouquet, an intense dark color, and great balance. The oldest second wine from Bordeaux, it is worthy of a Grand Cru Classé..Such is the greatness of Léoville-Las Cases in 1996 that this second wine presents more as a Grand Vin. Complex and multi-faceted, it is excellent now but will improve further...Red, Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, 12.5% alcohol"

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2008

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.

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. Best after 2012. –JS
