2005 Bordeaux Keeps Looking Better

Filed under: Wine

Poor growing seasons over the past three years, combined with what so many oenophiles claimed was an exceptional year for wine, the 2005 Bordeaux look better and better.

And according to Financial Times wine expert Jancis Robinson, the 2005s are good at both ends of the price spectrum. Robinson calls these wines "by far the greatest bordeaux vintage I have been lucky enough to taste." At a recent London tasting, the favorite first growth was the Chateau Margeaux. Chateau Haut-Brion and Latour followed closely behind.

Sure, the aged vintage Petrus goes for big bucks but how about something a little fresher? Don't hold out your hopes of an inexpensive 2005 Petrus, Decanter reveals that the not-even-in-the-bottle 2005 vintage is selling at prices that work out to around $3000 per bottle. And this is before the emperor, Robert Parker, gives his final score. Parker has tasted the en primeur wines in the barrel but doesn't give a final score until the grape hits the bottle. So far he has given it a 96-100 which means that it could be one of Parker's famous 100-point wines, but then again maybe not. A lower score could cause a price dip but people aren't taking any chances and are already pre-ordering cases.
