Tasting - Manoir du Carra Beaujolais Nouveau



Name: Manoir de Carra
Variety: Beaujolais Nouveau
Region: Beaujolais
Country: France
Year: 2014
Price: $12 (Sale $4.95)

Winery Review:
A pretty, floral wine, with a rose petal note underscoring the rich pomegranate and sweet plum flavors. The fresh acidity is balanced, and a light spice note lingers on the finish.

My Review:
This wine smelled just like the wash/soap you can buy and use to wash vegetables with, except with hints of cherry. The wine was almost chemical smelling but not quite fully there. There was also a little bit of burnt aspect on the nose. When tasted it was super bitter which is hard for me to get past and it seemed to cover up a lot of flavors. There was no residual sugar taste and I was not getting any fruit flavors. This was not an enjoyable wine to me. This was tasted without food.
