Tasting - Georges Duboeuf Nouveau

Name: Georges Duboeuf Nouveau 2015
Variety: Gamay
Region: Beaujolais
Country: France
Year: 2015
Price: $12.00

Shop Review: Deorge Duboeuf is THE king of Beaujolais. His wines are full of pop, charm and great flavor and his Beaujolais Nouveau is no exception. A cornucopia of expressive fruit wrapped in an almost-bubblegum-like frame; it is the flagship Nouveau.

My Review: The color on this wine was a rich, violet-purple color. Raspberry, blackberry, strawberry were all very prominent on the nose. The bouquet reminded me of the smell of jam spread over freshly toasted bread. I thought it had a light mouthfeel and had a slight sweetness at the start, ending with a smooth finish that didn't seem to last long. I tried this wine without food.
