2005 Bordeaux Already Receiving Rave Reviews
The 2005 harvest in Bordeaux is already receiving praise as being an ideal grape growing year. The weather this year is said to be free from late rainfall, and abundant in warm days and cool nights, allowing for ideal ripening. The 2003 vintage, which fell victim to extremely hot temperatures, has been praised as a fantastic year by Robert Parker and others. Because 2005 had cooler weather, ripening time has been increased, and producers are hoping this will result in better wine over the 2003 season.
