Tasting - Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau

Name: Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau
Variety: 100% Gamay
Region: Beaujolais
Country: France
Year: 2012
Price: $3.95

Winery Review: "Bright and tangy, offering a classic banana note on the nose, with flavors of raspberry, wild strawberry and light spice. Modest finish." Vintage Cellar wine notes

My Review: Pronouncing this wine is harder than any review I could write but right off the bat its rich, deep red color indicated a very fully bodied wine. I might as well have stuck my nose in a banana when taking my first whiff, very strong. It was kind of one-dimensional, nothing really going on after that initial fruiting blast. But for under four bucks this wine is a steal, I even invested in one for myself!

I sampled the wine without food.
