Absolutely delicious. Good weight and round ripeness with savory baking spice and earth notes. No need to share this one.

Very good Bojo. Deep ripe crunchy fruit, and a really suave smoky minerality on the nose. Intense attack. Full bodied, bone dry, and with intense minerality through the finish.

This wine veers on perfect not for being a revelation but for being fucking perfect for what it is. The tannins and a hint of...rawness hint at it needing a year or so and fortunately I have another bottle to try it out then. In the meantime the cherries, hints of dried cherries, high acid, and friendly smooth tannins are still friends. But in like one to two years they will be besties. In the meantime I still call this Beaujolais a good pal.

Nice solid Bojo. Loads of crunchy dark cherry fruit along with stony minerality. Straightforward and punchy, bits with fruit then quickly transitions over to stoniness. Nice with my Pad See Eew take out.

Earthy fruit. Fresh still alive but not amazing.

Not much left, herbal notes and a short finish.
