2005 Bad Boy Bordeaux

SKU #1040394

According to Robert Parker: "A superb sleeper of the vintage, this Bordeaux blend from Jean-Luc Thunevin delivers everything it should. Loads of plum, cassis, and cherry fruit are found in this silky-textured, medium-bodied, pure, delicious effort. Thunevin has unquestionably hit a home run with this bargain-priced 2005. Enjoy it over the next 3-4 years. Bordeaux needs to make more wines such as this." (08/08) 95% Merlot, 5% Cab Franc. GARAGISTE I am BLACK SHEEP wouldn't deign BAD BOY I remain.

It’s back and superb as usual!

Most people’s first thought is that this wine was made for the American market, but it is more about the anthem of the “garagiste” winemakers that are breaking with tradition and making wines that they want to drink. I think this wine is a nice blend of rich ripe fruit, but it's still structured. The tannins have relaxed since we first tried this wine last summer. Lots of ripe black fruit with a polished mouthfeel. This wine has a bit less acidity than other ’05s, but the astringency is still there. All of this makes it a wine for California Cabernet fans wanting to try Bordeaux.

This Bad Boy really flew off the shelves after the Bordeaux tasting on the 16th. The immediate appeal in this '05 merlot-based Right Bank wine is its take-me-home and drink-me-now nature! Lots of plummy fruit and earthy forest-floor character. This is ready to drink with dinner tonight! A perfect accompaniment for a cheeseburger or a rare steak.

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.
