Barons De Rothschild Reserve Speciale 2005
Region: Bordeaux, France
Winery: Barons de Rothschild (Lafite)
Variety: Bordeaux Blend

Decent wine for the price, but nothing to write home about. We let this wine breathe for about 30 minutes, and it did a little bit to round out the strong alcohol taste.

Those who know their claret love the classic berry richness of this special reserve … and the fact that it's made exclusively for them by Charles Chevallier of Château Lafite fame!

That hallmark Lafite smoothness, allied with the power and purity of Bordeaux's "truly extraordinary 2005 vintage" (Jancis Robinson MW) - will leave you and your guests mightily impressed.

Elegant blackcurrant and plum aromas. A remarkable mouthful of smooth, ripe fruit. Will grace any dining table.
