The dense ruby/purple-colored 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Marie Beurrier possesses fabulous fruit, very good acidity, a tightly-knit, tannic style with plenty of power and richness, but it remains firm. It will undoubtedly spend another two years in ancient wood, so the tannins will no doubt soften, and the wine should expand in flavor as well as texture. It will not be drinkable for 7-8 years, but it should age for 25-30 years.
