2005 Citran, Haut-Médoc ($39.99) "For an aged Bordeaux that hits all the right notes, it'll be nearly impossible to find a 2005 of this caliber at our current price.”— Ryan Moses, K&L Spirits Buyer If you're looking for the ultimate Bordeaux value, this is it. From the legendary 2005 vintage, this Haut-Médoc gem delivers perfectly matured claret character—ripe fruit, bright acidity, and silky structure—all for under $40. Finding a 20-year-old Bordeaux in peak form at this price is virtually unheard of, making this an offer you won’t want to miss. 
Coming from one of the oldest properties in Bordeaux, Cirtan is situated in the Haut-Médoc, just inland from Margaux. We've carried various vintages over the years, but this has become an instant favorite of mine. From the famed 2005 vintage on its twentieth birthday, I really adore how it expresses the vintage—perfectly ripe, but bright acids, pure fruit, and good structure. It's also holding very strong at this stage in the game—there's a wonderful mature claret character, but it is also refreshing and full of bright fruit. All in all, just a perfect spot for this gem, but I'd guess the structure will carry it for another ten years with ease. It begs for a meal, but there's charm on its own as well. For an aged Bordeaux that hits all the right notes, it'll be nearly impossible to find a 2005 of this caliber at our current price. |
