Great Bojo. Saturated color. Nose has purple florals, loads of cracked granite, a sweet raw beef tenderloin note, and dark crunchy berries. In the mouth there is great purity. A whack of fruit at first, then quickly transitioning to mouth-coating granite minerality. Good acidity and some tannin indicate good aging potential.

1 person found it helpfulMar 21st, 2017Claude Geoffray is the master. I am not worthy. Nobody gets purity, intensity, texture, and balance in such perfect symbiosis. A little lighter color than some of his other single vineyard or special cuvée wines, but the intensity of aromas is striking: massive granitic minerality, piercing gamay hard cherry fruit, held together by a feral animal thing. Electric in the mouth, with sparking cracked granite and tingly berries. Long crisp finish. Zowie! Actually complemented my Pakistani kebab take-out too. Mille grazie to Fass Selections for bringing this in.

Délicieux! La finale par contre m'a laissée la bouche sèche; sans fruits. Ok je suis sévère...

Good balance. Very good acidity. A hint of heat and green pepper. Very good but not the best vintage of this wine. I had the godefroy. ... as this opens the green and heat go away. Needs 45 minutes.
