Chris’s Wine of the Month – October 2014

2006 CHATEAU ST. JULIEN – GRAND SAINT-JULIEN – Bin. 98

As many of you know, the red wines of Bordeaux are very close to Chris’s heart, so the October choice will be a delicious, glorious Medoc wine from the Left Bank.

Recently we had the great fortune to purchase a tiny parcel of this outstanding 2006 from a Grand Cru Classe special château in Saint Julien. This is an absolute must-buy for all fans of classic Bordeaux. This unique claret with a fantastic velvety softness brings stunning black cherry and liquorice overtones with elegant notes of spice to your palate. It is a rich, with fine tannins and a long, voluptuous finish.

Chris guarantees this winter warmer will give you great pleasure during the chilly festive season.
