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."
(Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Apr-2008)

"A fleshy, ripe but not over-done style of Bordeaux, this is a claret that is designed to provide immediate pleasure thanks to its fruity, supple character. From the satellite appellation of Cotes du Bourg it also represents an often better value for money than many of its neighbours. Enjoy this ... MORE | ||||
