Perfectly pleasant for what it is and what it aims to be. Served nicely chilled with Thanksgiving dinner, it complemented all the dishes well. Nose of cherry bubblegum, with an unexpectedly rigid tannic structure. Crisp and fruity on the palate, with refreshing acidity.

Actually very nice for a nouveau. Like the Bouchard beaujolais nouveau, it has the same soapy smell that my homemade kit wines have, although not as strong in this one. Nose also fruitier than the other nouveau. Decent tannins (unexpected) with bold fruity flavors of dark fruits and spice. Very nicely balanced and very nice to drink!

Novelty is wearing off. Used to drink a case of nouveau before the end of the holiday season but at these prices, one is enough. At half current price, maybe but not at these prices.

Not as good as 2005. This was very tart and didn't have the same depth as the 2005.

Fruity, as you might imagine. Slightly empty, but that's not unusual for a Gamay. On the whole, not bad. Mid-good (82.5).
