Bordeaux 2005
'Extraordinary', 'legendary' and 'best-ever' are some of the adjectives you will have seen used by the pundits to describe the 2005 vintage when it was first tasted in barrel in Bordeaux in Spring 2006. Since then we have re-tasted many of the wines and we haven't changed our minds - this is an astonishing vintage and some of the wines are the greatest we've had the privilege to drink.
If you haven't already indulged yourself with some of the wines from what, with time, could prove to be the greatest-ever Bordeaux vintage, or simply want to top up on purchases you have already made, then please do not hesitate as prices are likely to rise even further.
"Tasting the 2005 red wines from the bottle, many of them three or four times, confirmed that this is the greatest vintage produced during my 30-year career."

Medium Bodied,

Cab.Sauvignon Blend,
For laying down,
13% alc.
Potensac's 2005 is a firm, gutsy wine with elegant but very firm tannins and intense earthy flavours. The pure cassis and blackberry nose gives it considerable class, while the extra intensity and structure in 2005 makes it really rather good. Reminiscent of a top St Estèphe, this is ... MORE |

Cab.Sauvignon Blend,
For laying down,

There is a completeness that is evident in 2005 Clarets, and this is what immediately strikes with 2005 Cantemerle. It has bags of fruit, tannin and acidity, all tied up in an impeccably-balanced, polished package. Sweet cassis fruit is accompanied by a spicy edge and a long, fresh ... MORE |

Clos du Marquis's grapes actually come from a separate area of vineyards (rather than younger or less successful vines at Léoville-Las Cases) surrounded on all sides by other Second Growths. This is made with much more Merlot (38%) than the Léoville-Las Cases and is very rich, ... MORE |

Owned by the Vauthier family of Ch. Ausone fame, this is just as jaw-dropping, in its own way, as its illustrious sibling. This is a proper St Emilion with the Ausone panache shining through. Made from 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, it has a dark inky colour with a delicious Port-like ... MORE |

This is very hedonistic, with bags of lush upfront fruit and easy charm. An attractive perfumed nose is followed by a silky textured palate, with good tannins and concentration. It is utterly delicious but is very atypical St Julien - if anything it is more reminiscent of a Pomerol! A real ... MORE |

This may be a modest château (although its selection of old gnarled vines are a good sign) particularly in the context of the great names that surround it, but it is hugely underrated, as the 2005 proves. Known for its power and muscle, in 2005 it has added the communes characteristic ... MORE |

This is a real return to form for Grand Puy Lacoste, with owner François Xavier Borie rightfully very proud of his Grand Vin in 2005. Made with more Cabernet Sauvignon than usual (78%) this has a gently toasty cassis nose, followed by elegant blackberry and dark cherry fruit with licorice ... MORE |

"The most profound Clinet since the prodigies produced by the late Jean-Michel Arcaute in 1989 and 1990, the 2005 boasts a fabulous nose of blueberries, violets, truffles, subtle wood, and cold steel. Inky/purple-hued, full-bodied, and multilayered with adequate acidity, this ... MORE |
