Great Bordeaux


2005 Château Bellevue Cuvée Vieilles Vignes
This is a great new 2005 Bordeaux that was made by the former winemaker at Cheval Blanc and it was aged in used Haut Brion barrels!! Those two wines in the 2005 vintage sell for over $900 a bottle. Even though this is not a first growth, it is an amazing blend of 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is worth a case in your cellar to enjoy now and over the next 10 years.

I agree. Need to have a case in the cellar. Is there anyway possible that GPL is 6 times better? Bordeaux is still 35% of my cellar but the current prices for classified growths are laughable.
