2005 Bordeaux is the year to buy! If you have the money, you cannot own enough of these stunning Bordeaux wines. I have tasted the top wines from the 2005 Bordeaux vintage multiple times and without a doubt, the wines continue improving after each tasting.

2005 Bordeaux is the vintage of our generation, just like 1982, 1961 or 1959 was to previous generations with one exception. 2005 Bordeaux wines are better because the wines are fabulous from top to bottom and in every appellation and price level!

While expensive, 2005 Bordeaux wines are so good, they are worth the tariff. Personally, Pomerol and St. Emilion rocked my boat more than the Left Bankers. They are less tannic, extremely dense, opulent, rich, concentrated wines that will age and evolve into some of the best drinking experiences of your life. That is the first place I would put my money if I had not already bought everything I wanted, or should I say “desired and could afford” from the 2005 Bordeaux vintage.

At their best, 2005 Bordeaux wines are rich, ripe, concentrated, deep, polished, silky and tannic with a beautiful sense of symmetry and purity of fruit. Everything is in harmony. There is such a wealth of perfectly ripe fruit, 2005 Bordeaux can be enjoyed young, yet the wines will need time to mature. The best 2005 Bordeaux will easily age and develop for decades.

This is a list of top 2005 Bordeaux value wine. These are the best Bordeaux wines offering quality, character, price from every major Bordeaux appellation. For tips on other Bordeaux value wines and vintages: Bordeaux Wine Buying Guide Find the Best Bordeaux for the money to buy today (Vintages 1959 to today)
