WA Give 2005 St. Emilion 99 Points!

This is the first time Parker has given a 99 rating to the entire appellation in Bordeaux for the vintage as a whole

So...does that mean I can buy anything bottled from any vineyard for 2005 from St. Emilion and have a classic wine from Bordeaux?

Seems crazy to me?

Any thought from the resident wine experts?

teutonictrio has a reputation beyond repute

I did buy a few bottles of St.E bordeaux from 2005, but I think much of the hype is already priced in. The better bottles from first growth chateaus will accelerate in value faster likely than any recent vintages, and collectors who have the wherewithal to hold and sell will do well.
