Le Tastevin - 2005 Bordeaux - November 08, 2023

Tonight's tasting was hosted by BordeauxJoe and Dave. The 2005 Bordeaux vintage was considered superb (WS 98), with hot, dry conditions punctuated by just enough and timely rain events to faciliate excellent growing conditions, particulary towards harvesting. A couple of other vintage wines were thrown in for good measure.
