critic/Winery Review: Bright and tangy, offering a classic banana note on
the nose, with flavors of raspberry, wild strawberry and light spice. Modest
finish
My Review: the initial smell was very fruity and
sweet. When I tasted it, the strongest
flavor I tasted was grapefruit with a hint of raspberry behind it. It has a very light finish and sat well on
the tongue after a minute. I could
definitely tell that it was young and needed some more aeration to release some
of the heavy tannins in it. It portrays
the 2012 region in Beaujolais very well but I would not drink a lot of it because
it was sweeter than I like my reds.
If food present, did
it change the flavor: N/A
Drink Up!
