Domaine Julien Masquin Montplaisir (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
Medium bodied, soft, elegantly styled, this delivers the goods from start to finish, with its floral, fresh red fruits and herb notes down to the plush, crowd pleasing finish. This was a new discovery for me. I'm looking forward to tasting this again in a less challenging vintage. 1,528 Views Tasted Sep 8, 2015 |

Domaine Julien Masquin is usually better with 2-4 years of bottle age. Of course that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. In the best vintages the wine should be consumed within 4-12 years after the vintage.
