Chateau Bernadotte Haut-Medoc 2005 (WS87,
$39.99 SKU 876011) I saw one bottle this at the 39th & Cambie LDB store and
decided to try it because it is from a great vintage and it should be about
time to open it. Wine Spectator suggested opening it after 2008. I decanted it
for two hours before drinking it with some lamb, pork and chicken from the
Greek festival. The nose was pleasant and the taste was easy-drinking Bordeaux. There was
little tannin but the mineral taste went well with the meat. There was a hint
of fruit but definitely not too jammy. I thought a left bank Bordeaux from a great vintage at this price
was a good deal. Last I checked, there were 10 bottles at the 39th and Cambie
store and 47 bottles at the Alberni store.
