Solid Bojo. Nose is not quite as ripe as modern day Bojo usually is. Tart cherry, whiff of spice, and crushed granite. Friendlier in the mouth than the nose suggests, with hard cherry candy fruit that spreads out and then develops a nicely stony element in the back half. Good but not crisp acids. Simple and satisfying.

Light, easy drinking. Solid sipper. A little fruit forward aka “jammy”, not enough acid.

Funky but very light. Not as fruity as I like for a gamay

You get a big ol whiff of Funk and black fruit. Pnp and Took about 30 min for the funk to calm down. On the palate, more funk, mushroom, black cherry, plum, and touches of mint on the smooth finish. Very good example of a gamay for $14.

Pale purple. A lot for crushed violet and lavender on the nose. Chalky, veins of liquorice, fresh persimmon and honeycrisp apple. A bit of roundness. Not as bright and fruity as other Beaujolais, but still drinkable and a nice change.
