"A strong effort for Talbot, the 2005 is more showy and forward than most wines of this vintage. This fleshy, medium to full-bodied St.-Julien exhibits a silky sweetness to its texture and tannins." Robert Parker
"The superb second wine of Chateau Leoville Las Cases, the 2005 Clos du Marquis, reflects the utter brilliance of the 2005 grand vin. The Clos du Marquis is dense, chewy, fleshy, and full-bodied. It is a beauty." Robert Parker
