The Wines of 1945 in Bordeaux<\/h2>\n\n![\"Bordeaux](\"https:\/\/www.sodivin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/bordeaux-vignes-1024x538.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nAfter a snowy May 1st and a day of frost, the cold snap drastically reduced the harvest. Even at the time, the wines sold for very high prices because so few were available on the market. Austere and marked by firm tannins, they take a long time to open up. Over the years, however, they have softened, and their reputation has become unshakable.<\/p>
The sweet wines are no exception \u2014 they are extraordinary and can still age for decades. The red wines are powerful, concentrated, tannic, and built for long aging. Most 1945 wines require about fifty years for their tannins to fully mellow.<\/p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
