| 2005 Chateau Beaulieu "Comtes de Tastes" Bordeaux, France WB Rating: 86 Alcohol by volume: 13.0% Price at time of purchase: $12.99 (Premier Cru) Type: Cabernet / Bordeaux Principal varietal(s): Bordeaux blend Still closed and somewhat austere, the 2005 Beaulieu Comtes de Tastes nonetheless clearly has a ripe fruit feel in the mouth and good balance. Slightly weedy nose with attractive, spicy dark berry and cherry fruit along with touches of chocolate, tobacco, and underbrush. A bit tight in the mouth and abrupt in the finish, but we expect that will soften with another year or two in the bottle. An extremely good buy at a near-everyday price. - HK 2011-01-27 [Back] |
