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.
