Tasting- Georges Duboeuf Nouveau

Name: Georges Duboeuf Nouveau
Variety: Nouveau
Region: Beaujolais
Country: France
Year: 2015
Price: $12.00
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: I was first intrigued by this wine because of its bold bottle design. The color looked like a rich magenta when held in the light. I didn't like the smell very much, it was very strong. The wine was sweet at first, but then had a slight bitter finish which I enjoyed. This wine did a great job of balancing flavors. Out of all of the tastings this wine was my favorite. 
I did not have any food with this wine.
