A delight! Light but in no-way insipid. Juicy and lush with a surprisingly satisfying finish.

Solid, straightforward excellent value bojo. Perhaps a touch warm and sweet but at €23 on a wine list I am absolutely not complaining!

good high acid value #wine, $22, tart red rasp fruit and serious chalky tannin. Think I like warmer vintages more, 10 is ethereal, light and fragrant, it's lean but not green. Comes just short on the texture meter.

Raspberry and liquorice. Quite fresh and quaffable.

Cranberry, currant and smoky notes. Tangy with racing acidity. A WS Top 100. Got for $17, but I’m not overly impressed here. Maybe I’m just wrong on this one.

Solid beaujolais. Raspberries, forest floor, and chalky tannins. High acidity.

Dense and fresh. A good gamay sip at a fair price + another example of 2014 excellence in Beaujolais.

Rich, complex with a semi high acidity. Aroma of damp forest, raspberries. Goes down very smooth.
