And on the third Thursday of November it was decreed that the world would sup from the cup of weakness. Our tasting books would be filled with negative comments and pubs that were last decorated in 1983 hold "Beaujolais dinners"with totally inappropriate food to match this light wine.
Anyhoo, as has become accustomed on this website, here is my note for the 2010 Georges Dubeouf Beaujolais Nouveau: Light, confected fruit, a horrible sweetness coming off too. Mushed up banana that has gone brown, with a strange petrolium hint. And now I have to put it in my mouth....
...well, I survived that, and the fruit is pretty... awful. It is violent, alcoholic with a watery watermelon Jolly Rancher flavour, and watermelon Jolly Ranchers are pretty lightly flavoured anyway so that tells you how weak this is. Seriously, if you want to spend a tenner on Beaujolais, don't spend it on this filth, spend it on a decent wine, like either of these.
