Vintage 2005: Another Monumental Tasting of Bordeaux
This soon-to-be-legendary event will be one of the biggest in Nashville Wine Auction history!
2005 Bordeaux wine remains a contender for the finest vintage from Bordeaux in modern times. In 2010, Robert Parker gave a record twelve 2005 Bordeaux wines perfect 100-point ratings. At this monumental tasting of Bordeaux, you will have the opportunity to hear the viewpoint of our Special Guest and Moderator, Lisa Perrotti-Brown.
There are many different characteristics of Bordeaux wine that make each vintage shine. Rarely will you find a vintage that encompasses ALL the characteristics that distinguish great Bordeaux.
Still fresh and vibrant like young wine yet with layers of diverse aromas and flavors, from bright red fruit to decadent game and earth, these modern classics envelop the rich complexity of character that only develops in a great wine from a great vintage. And they are electrifying to drink.
Experts said that this vintage would need 15 years of bottle age to become truly perfect. Well, the time has come to open these Bordeaux beauties.
Pam and Steve Taylor have donated 3 bottles each of 32 glorious 2005 Bordeaux just for this epic black-tie evening. On Saturday, November 13, 2021 at Saint Elle, your understanding of Bordeaux and the 2005 vintage will be enlightened by Wine Advocate’s Editor-in-Chief, Lisa Perrotti-Brown. Your palate will effectively be spoiled beyond measure by the cuisine of one of Nashville’s favorites, Chef Kevin Ramquist of The Unicorn, Nashville.
