June 19, 2021 - potpourri gathering (JS's): Black cherries, still structured and young. +upside
June 3, 2021 - So minty and tender. While it’s all so pleasing already, this wine still hasn’t completely bloomed. It seems reductive just in a different way. The aroma and the palate are so tightly knit this could age for much longer. But it’s taut fruit and youth make it so lovely.
April 10, 2021 - Transposed from my wine.com rating.
August 22, 2020 - Another wine from the missed Dillon Beach trip. Second dinner of the weekend with Mark & Erin.
Wonderfully matched to the BBQ'ed HOG Island Oysters in Chipotle Bourbon Butter.
March 20, 2020 - 1.5 hr decant: a wine with a large presence, both fruit and mid strength brett signature. Not a real enjoyable wine but so much stuffing here.
October 6, 2018 - As the cork came out, I got an instant whiff of acetone-like nail polish remover, but that dissipated quickly, and I can't find any of this on the wine itself. Not sure what to make of that. Medium body, medium transparent ruby in color, a bit of a CO2 acidity note on the palate on opening, but this fades with air. My first time with this cuvee, so I don't really know its story; plenty of flavor, in the strawberry/raspberry spectrum, has a sweet/juicy strawberry soda character, good acidity, relatively simple and straightforward. A tasty, very gluggable wine, though lacks much depth and complexity. Would be a hit at any non-wine-geek event.
December 13, 2017 - Light(ish?) reds and a riesling (Greenlake): Maybe one of the best young beaujolais that I've tasted. Tasted over two days. On day 1: loads of fruity carbonic goodness with black fruit, red fruit; I could see cherry cola; but in the background there is a graphite minerality that suggests there is more to see. Excellent acidity and great fruit follow on the palate; a hint of a stemmy green note and wonderful texture.
We probably should have had this after the Thivin.
Day 2: (unrefrigerated on the counter overnight) softer fruit, carbonic notes come out more, but balances that fruit with extra complexity.
October 20, 2017 - Enjoyable, spicey, but the almost fizzy cherry cola taste was too much for me. Don’t get me wrong, this is enjoyable and not offputting, but with so many 2009 and 2014’s drinking so well, I am picky and wouldn’t reach for this again. I am not sure age will better this wine.
September 3, 2017 - Pomegranate and red berries followed by sour limestone and intense finish; very perplexing and funky wine; sharpness and intensity of liquor-like gamay fruit but does not reach burgundy levels of satisfaction for me; better on second day, with full texture and mouthwatering flavor and some funk having burned off; kept tasting it over and over, so many flavors; a wine geek's wine. One of the most interesting Beaujolais I've ever tried, but the brett is quite prominent (some will consider this a flawed wine due to it).
August 11, 2017 - This was just fabulous, the best 2015 Bojo I've had so far. So much iron, minerals and crunchy red fruit. Focused, precise and long. This has both the fruit and structure for aging.
