Vintage information 2005:

The whites are full and rich, usually with plenty enough acidity to balance - not the mineral tension of the 04s, but then the 04s can sometims seem dilute in comparison.
The reds are usually first-class - this was a vintage to fill your store with great values from Beaune, Savigny, Pommard and Aloxe - it's not very often that you can say that, but most are now sold! Many have closed-up now so will disappoint - wait 10 years!

2005 Bouchard Aine, Clos de la RocheApr. 2008
Wide, mineral and earthy aromas. Jam-packed with ripe fruit. There’s quite some structure, but it’s very well covered.. A good length too. No wow, but very competent.
2005 Bouchard Aine, Charmes-ChambertinApr. 2008
A ripe but quite tight nose. Round in the mouth with decent mid-palate intensity. Some nice fruit though the tannin has a harsh edge – good length though.
