Beaujolais is a French AOC label made from Gamay grapes.
This particular wine had a slightly hot and slightly astringent nose with a hint of cedar. The body had zesty acid and some harsh tannins. The body was also tart and slightly astringent. After a bit of aeration the wine toned down overall and brought out some more fruit flavors and a bit of cedar. The finish was forgettable, just like the wine.
I don't recall how much it was, but it was cheap and I won't be buying it again.
