Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
This wine springs from the appellation of Juliénas (some say named for Julius Caesar), one of the 10 “crus” of Beaujolais. These 10 are recognized for producing the region’s top wines. The Gamay grape in fine form here. Forward raspberry fruit, floral, earth and spice. Graceful and ripe on the palate, with spicy accents and enough structure to evolve for 3-5 years.
