Wine-o: Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais-Villages


Alcohol 12.5%
Price $12

This is a red wine that definitely ought to be aired.  When I first tasted it, it had almost no flavor.  However the nose was very interesting, delicate.  The wine is smooth, very smooth.  To me I thought this mean no tannins, and the website describes it as "a smooth wine with fine tannins".

This wine is from the Beaujolais region of France, hence the description on the website.  The wines tend to be simple; low in tannins and higher in acidity.  I reviewed last Thanksgiving the 2011 Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau.  Unlike that vintage which is drunken immediately, this type of wine can be stored for a couple of years.

Freya's Score: 71
Mona's Value:  5.9

The MV is calculated by dividing the FS by the price, giving a better analytic that takes into consideration price as well as overall taste
