Georges Du Boeuf Beaujolais Nouveau

07

My first time buying Beaujolais Nouveau on its release date and I'm not impressed. It's just not good. I don't find it complex or even drinkable. I'll buy another from a different producer, but I don't have very high expectations. I think this is just a wine that I don't like. It reminded my date of "church wine" and I think it's an apt comparison. It tastes extremely "grapey" and there isn't any softness. I drank it after chilling for about a half hour.

Update: I drank the same bottle a week later and it seemed better. A little more flavor and definitely more drinkable. Still not impressed and I probably won't even finish the bottle.
