2007 Domaine Dupeuble Pere et Fils Beaujolais Nouveau

This is one of the more expensive BN's out there - $15, but thanks to the clearance sale it only ran me $5.

Raspberry, cherry, earth, and a fair amount of banana on the nose.

If you're the type who smirks and thinks us wine fans cannot possibly “taste” dirt in a wine – I invite you to buy a bottle of this. This is a dirty bottle. Banana, berry, earth, surprisingly bold tannins, and enough zing to give it a solid balance.

No finish – if there is it fades in seconds.

I'd be curious to see if a higher quality BN exists – if so, I have yet to try it. Now – that being said – for what it is, it's good, but BN has an inherent ceiling in terms of quality.

A word of warning – this bottle has a LOT of sediment. If you want to try this one, keep it upright for at least a day or two and pour it very slowly (or decant it).
