Ridiculously gorgeous. No notes, just enjoyed with some perfectly grilled lamb t-bone and great company @Danny Aliaga

This is all about fragrance, fruit, and sweet spices. Texture is super soft. None of that crunchy, mineral-textured granite stuff, but a very elegant, feminine rendition. So much delicious fruit. Needs a careful decant, though, because there is a ton of that fine, floaty sediment that starts dispersing if you look at it wrong.

Delicious and elegant. This wine was remarkable. I tasted it blind and had trouble placing it because it's structure and aromatic complexity didn't match with my fruit driven expectation of gamay. I've been drinking discount bojo. This was phenom.

Evolution of gamay noir in my glass now. Black Cherry - Flint - fiddleheads - cream - bitter tea - cassis. A lifetime in one hour, care of oxygen.

Foillard is almost always a treat, and this is an excellent bottle. Good depth of flavor with a mix of red and dark fruit—maybe a touch of menthol(?).

A lot of fruit on the nose and palate, strawberries and soft spices, some floral hints too, nice acidity and soft tannins with good texture, the finish is nice, nothing super complex but fresh and drinks easy with that Burgundian style a little more then a pure Bojo vinification style.
Du fruit rouge et encore du fruit, au nez comme en bouche, fraises et épices douces, un côté floral aussi avec une belle acidité et des tannins assez souples et agréables, belle finale, rien de super complexe mais frais et se boit tout seul avec ce style un peu plus Bourguignon. 89-90

After a 2 weeks pause for (very mild) health reasons I thought it would be good to pop a bottle I had kept on the side for such occasion.
Cola, cherry, hay and an irony thing one the nose, very inviting. The palate is superlative. Massive acid backbone, superb juicy cherry fruit all along, great width, soft mouthfeel, a little bit of cherry liqueur on the sides too, ample mid palate with a slight drying effect like a subtle brush and a finish with those same cherry juice and cherry liqueur notes. This is so beautiful...
