2005 Chateau Beychevelle
Everyone has been raving about the 2005 Bordeaux vintages -- the warm temperatures and near drought conditions means unripe grapes should be a near impossibility -- and I think they're right. Over the weekend I had a remarkable bottle of the 2005 Chateau Beychevelle (fourth growth; Saint-Julien). I'd had an earlier vintage at a wine tasting and it had been pleasant, but nothing to write home about. The '05 is a very different animal. It's complete beginning to end with a great nose and a strong finish. It is however, worth decanting before serving. The critics seem happy with it as well. Parker scored it a 90-92 and said it might be the best Beychevelle since 1982. Unfortunately, the price reflects this quality. While earlier vintages have been in $40 range, this is not true of the '05, which is going for closer to $90 at some places. But it seems that, this year, Bordeaux is worth it.
