Medium purple colored with medium viscosity (13% ABV). The nose has medium intensity aromas of black cherry, white blossom, orange peel, acai berry, blueberry, and black grape. The palate is dry with high acidity, a medium (-) body, and medium tannins. Medium intensity flavors of acai berry, slightly underripe blueberry, red and black cherry, white blossom and crunchy red grapes. Cru Beaujolais is not at all what Nouveau is. The fruit is vinified differently and the resultant structure, especially tannins, are much more apparent. This Gamay based wine is built to last a few years, and might just be starting its approachable stage. The finish is medium (+) in length and drives home the slightly green nature of some of the fruit, tart is the key word here. It’s a very interesting and slightly different wine that I am enjoying tremendously. 91 points worth for this $20 effort makes it a 5 star wine, to drink till 2030. Salut….
