Tasting- Georges Duboeuf Nouveau

Name: Georges Duboeuf Nouveau
Variety: Gamay
Region: Beaujolais
Country: France
Year: 2015
Price: $12 Sale: $5.95
Expert Review: George 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: This was a deep red, nearly purple colored wine. The aroma was musty with hints of soil and freshly turned earth. In the mid palate, this was dry with black cherry and currant as the primary flavors. The after taste highlighted the bitterness of the wine but overall a decent wine.

Food: This wine was tasted with no food due to tasting it at the Vintage Cellar.
