Young wine, bold flavor

The 2005 Bordeaux wines, much hyped when sold on speculation in 2006, promise to be spectacular, thanks to fine weather that allowed the grapes to strut their stuff. The big names are destined for the cellar, where many years of aging will give them the complexity and richness worthy of their chateaux name and the hefty price you paid for them. But you can enjoy moderately priced wines now from lesser-known Bordeaux winemakers — if you like your wine young and can pair it with full-flavored foods, such as Easter’s traditional roast lamb. Most Bordelais reds aren’t as expensive as you might think, even with the lousy dollar-euro exchange rate.
