Pleasing and graceful, this full-bodied Juliénas displays spices and ripe red and black fruit aromas (red currant, blackberry). This well balanced wine shows soft tannins and a long lasting finish. Excellent now, it will show even better after a few years of cellaring.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\tThis is a perfect match with game, poultries, white meats and cheeses or even by itself as an aperitif.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp\u003eReview:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Vivid ruby. Aromas of fresh dark berries, licorice, violet and smoky minerals, with a hint of earthiness in the background. Offers appealingly sweet boysenberry and cherry flavors that deepen and pick up a spicy nuance on the back half. Finishes very long and smooth, with rounded tannins adding gentle grip. - Josh Raynolds\"\u003cbr style=\"\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Antonio Galloni's Vinous (March 2018), 91 pts\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manoir du Carra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948972797999,"sku":"F0EE201072GYL","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/julienaslesbottierelbl.jpg?v=1771486414","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/manoir-du-carra-beaujolais-cru-julienas-2016","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
