The 2005 Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau is here.

What a great year for Beaujolais Nouveau .  This is what George Duboeuf has to say about the 2005 vintage.

"2005 is without a doubt the finest palatte of colors I have ever seen in Beaujolais. There is a luxurious beauty that slides in the glass. in the aromas you will find black currant, blueberry, kirsch, violets, black cherry and hints of spices, cocoa, coffee, pepper, liquorice and blackberries. The palate gives the impression of intense concentration, a warm wine, unctuous, exceptional, very fleshy. It is harmonious and voluptuous with flavors of ripe red and black fruits, all held together by supple and elegant tannins, which gives it a lavish expression of a Beaujolais Nouveau of high class. This Beaujolais Nouveau 2005 will write itself in history as one of the finest vintages in the last 50 years!"  Georges Duboeuf
