2005 Bordeaux: le grand tour

After recently re-tasting the 2005 Bordeaux , Robert Parker Jr. said, “It is an extraordinary vintage and one that is different from anything I have tasted in the last twenty-eight years. As a general rule, the wines are very concentrated, extremely high in tannin, and backward, but the fresh acids combined with the massive concentration and higher than normal alcohols make for a distinctive vintage that will probably be one of the longest-lived I have ever tasted…In short, this vintage has no shortage of legendary wine…”

Bin905 invites you for a tour along the Gironde and taste some of the best examples from this legendary vintage.  This event will draw the differences in between the 7 communes represented. With such a powerful vintage and so prestigious estates, all wines will be decanted the day prior to the tasting.

Here is the lineup, from right to left (bank)
