Wine name: Château de Beaulieu. Producer: Caves Saint-Pierre Négotiant, Eleveur à Châteauneuf-du-Pape (Vse). Vintage: 2005. Purchased from laithwaite's. Appearance deep browny red with blackcurrants aromatics. The attack is quite firm, full, good acidity. Evolution: Tannin, blue cheese, earth with a finish which is black cherries in nose, earthy swallow. Sweetness: 0.5. Acidity: 3.5. Tannin: 4 with a texture which is rough and slightly thick and the length is excellent. As for balance, it's great balance between body and tannin. The wine has a closure and is 14% abv. Overall, this wine is: This is a particularly good one, would have gone well with a steak, was a little too refined for a home-made sausage roll. Really good!. My score (which is NOT the same as Robert Parker's!) is 87 points.
