It is no exaggeration to describe the 2005 vintage in Bordeaux, as exceptional, in the sense that a splendid climate, a real fairy tale for winemaker, has induced a homogeneous crop, perfectly ripe and a relatively small volume. A perspective that gives legitimacy to think, even more than in 2000, that this vintage is of a high overall quality and will produce a good anthology of wine, which we will know throughout the almost limitless aging period!
