Tasting - Georges Duboeuf Beajolais Nouveau

Name: Georges Duboeuf Beajolais Nouveau

Variety: Beajolais Nouveau

Region: Beaujolais

Country: France

Year: 2013

Price: $15 (retail)


Wine Spectator review: An aromatic red, with floral and white peach notes accenting the black raspberry and plum flavors.  This is open-knit and fresh, offering light tannins on the finish.

My review: I was expecting this wine to be pretty sweet and fruity/candy-flavored on the nose, but, surprisingly, it turned out to be very dry on the taste.  The nose is extremely aromatic and the wine really opens itself up with a strong theme of licorice.  The taste is also tannic and mouth-drying, there is a bit of acidity, and it has well-structured body. 

I had this wine without food.
