I didn't know Nouveau could be this good. Intense carbonique cherry fruit. Jumps out of the glass. Cheap thrills. Blind, I thought it was a nice Cru Beaujolais.

Nose has cut cherry, crushed blackberry and (faint) banana.
Palate has black cherry, red currant, ripe blackberry and medium tannins.
This is certainly an oddity of the Nouveau style, some weight and complexity to the palate, considerable color extraction shows a very dark ruby color in the glass. Blindly tasting, I might not guess it is what it is... 2019 looks to be a decent vintage for Drouhin.
This may be the best Nouveau I can recall in many years of tasting, wow!

One of the better Noveau's I've had that didn't taste like a glass of Welch's grape juice. This pours a bright ruby red that extends right to the edge. Nose has a little of dusty cherries to it. On the palate, it's light bodied with a little funk, a little earth and tart cherry but nothing over the top, very balanced. Perfect on its own. Nice with a slight chill. Save a few bottles for summer.

I quite love Beaujolais Nouveau. This has that charm of the third Thursday, but with a little depth there. It's better the next day even!
