| 2005 Beaulieu Comtes de Tastes: | 750 ML | $18.75 | 90-92 Points! Robert Parker's Wine Advocate # 164 Apr 2006 Reviewer: Robert Parker| The brilliant St.-Emilion consultant, Stephane Derenoncourt, fashions wines at this impeccably run Bordeaux Superieur estate from a blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Like so many smaller chateaux in 2005, this unbelievable offering as well as fabulous bargain transcends its class. There are 6,600 cases of this 2005, which achieved 13% alcohol naturally. It offers a dense purple color as well as a sweet nose of melted chocolate, cassis, and a subtle hint of wood. Opulent, round, and medium to full-bodied, it is ideal for drinking over the next 5-6 years. Drink 2006-2012 |
