Bordeaux Wines

While I was cavorting around the French coutryside I managed to visit with a few vintners.  I was happy to know the best years for Bordeaux wines and I thought you might be happy to have that information, too.  So, the best year for these wines in the past 20 years was 2000, hands down.  The years of 2003 and 2005 were pretty good, too.  The other years were o.k., except for the years of 2002, 2004 and 2007, which were definately not good years.  In summary, it's good to buy 2000, 2003 and 2005 but be wary of any other year.  I hope that this adds to your wine knowledge.  Malama pono.
