Has anyone had this Beaujolais and have an opinion. I ordinarily do not purchase Duboeuf BOJOs but our local wine store has a great price on closeout. I have been buying a lot of French '05 reds lately but am a little concerned about this wine.

We drink a number of bottles of this about a year or two ago. It was typical B-V in the bright grapefruit-cranberry mold, no tannins to speak of but overall good package. Not built for the long term, but no worries about it right now.

I actually went by the wine store and they had a bottle open. It was decent, good fruit, not as cherry flavored as I expected, ready to drink but should be OK for 1-2 years. It was $2.99 per 375 so I picked 6 bottles.
