Vintage 2005

Bordeaux Vintage Report 2005 is a truly fantastic vintage with great quality across the board on both the Left and Right Banks.

Written Notes

Tasted in March 2020. Fat, dense, powerful, very cherry, iron fist in velvet glove, very concentrated and intense, strong backbone, great complexity and length. Long finish. So typical for the vintage! Stand A.

Beautifully lifted and pure fruit perfume. This is undoubtedly classy and fine. The oak just shows but is well integrated already. Very ripe and concentrated again but not a hint of over ripeness or flabbiness. Freshness and drinkability ooze from this wine despite the obvious power and concentration. Tremendous potential again from this most impressive of vintages. Drink 2015 – 2028.

Deep ruby. Closed nose but scented and flirting, blueberries, vanilla, layered and complex. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, mouthwatering and refreshing, superb palate, lovely texture and structure, very long finish.
