2020, Domaine de Bel-Air, JULIENAS, Village

Deeper more intense fruit than the BV. Real boysenberry and ripe plum & dark cherry. Juicy also but slightly holding back at this stage - more structured. Crisp acidity - but fresh and delicious mouthfeel finish. Good drive. Lovely sweet mid-palate and persistence. 1/2 JK

Dense dark ruby in colour. Highly fragrant blackcurrant and leather notes with a little aniseed. Medium bodied with sweet red cherry though the mid palate and a mineral finish. Jo Charvill.
