2008 Chateau des Capitans Julienas Beaujolais Cru

[wondersofwine]

Distributed by Georges DuBoeuf. I bought two bottles @ $24 each after tasting at a Beaujolais dinner in Raleigh. Listed as 12.5% alcohol. Deep purple and opaque. Dark berries, slightly grapey. Fine gritty texture. Exhibits some of the expected Gamay characteristics. Fruity but not overripe or sweet. Might hold for a couple years.
