  Nose is sweet candied fruit, think Runts, also hints of banana. Flavor is sweet red fruit with a medium length tart finish.

  This was my first experience with a Beaujolais Nouveau. The first evening I tried it, the nose was very candy like, as it was on the palate, big juicy bubble gum, cherry jelly beans, very Tutti frutti. My first evening trying it, I wasn't really sure if I like it or not. Trying it the second evening was a big surprise, what a difference! Gone was the big candy tutti fruitti profile, it was drinking much more like a young Burgundy. Very nice metamorphosis indeed.

  Vibrant red-purple with magenta highlights. Nose of Bazooka gum, strawberry jelly beans, red Nehi, and a bit of marzipan. Soft and plush in the mouth with fluffy berry compote on the palate and a slight acidic backbone and even a bit of tannic structure on the finish. A solid Beujolais Nouveau from a serious négociant. Arrived too late for Thanksgiving dinner, but would have been a nice complement. Drink now (as if you hadn't figured *that* out).

  A nice, bright ruby red, the nose opens with candied strawberry and slight piney notes. There is also a little herbal candy-like notes, something like a cherry Ricola. Medium-bodied and fresh, strawberry jelly beans, along with an inky, dark berry flavor that I can't identify. The finish is short, and much like the palate. I'm not at all disappointed with this purchase.
