The beautiful aromas of chocolate, toasty plum, and floral boysenberry were outstanding.
Medium-bodied with fair acidity and mild tannin carried flavors of blueberry, blackberry, tobacco, and a hint of that chocolate, but there was a slight undercurrent of green grape.
Finished fair with an astringent note, eucalyptus, the trailing palate, well integrated 13.5% alcohol, and gentle spice.
With a name like "Chateau Julien", which upsets some, you might think that this is a French wine (Bordeaux), but Monterey County is in California.
I bought these at the Londonderry Market Basket.
