Tasting- 2012 Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau

Name: Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau
Variety: Gamay
Region: Beaujolais, Eastern France
Country: France
Year: 2012
Price: $3.95, originally $13

Winery Review: There is charming sweetish red crushed berry fruit and warm floral mineral scents.Well balanced red fruit flavors throughout the mid-palate. A lovely light but solid finish tricks you into thinking that this wine could be a barrel sample of one of the 10 Beaujolais Crus and not a "mere" nouveau.

My Review: On the nose, I noticed hints of butter along with fruit. The wine has essence of raspberries, and sugar coated strawberry. The fruit flavor comes through on the palate to give this red a full bodied flavor and finishes dry.
