  June 9, 2023 - 90 Capa baja. Aún frutal en nariz, en boca es civilizado, con tanino suave y buen final. Acidez perfecta. Conjunto armonioso. Buen productor.

  May 8, 2023 - I found my two previous bottles of this (the last 4 years ago) somewhat severe and inexpressive, so I held back this last bottle until now in the hope that it would open up and acquire the charm of so many of its forebears. Well, it has opened slightly but still remains very serious. The nose is still quite restrained but shows some fine berry fruit (quite a bit of griotte cherry) and flinty minerals which follow through onto the medium bodied and linear shaped palate. The texture is quite delicate and the acidity still lively but there is not a lot of firmness in the quite long finish. Good though in a still rather severe vein.

  January 13, 2021 - Moderately translucent black cherry color. Ripe, somewhat sweetish and slightly restrained nose with dark-toned aromas of black raspberries, some gravelly minerality, light sappy herbal tones and a hint of stemmy greenness. The wine is ripe but also dry, relatively weightless and enjoyably acid-driven on the palate. Fresh, savory flavors of wild strawberries, brambly raspberries, some blueberry tones, a little bit of licorice, light stemmy green notes, a hint of tart lingonberry and a touch of stony minerality. The licorice component seems to grow in intensity towards the aftertaste. The overall is firm yet supple, thanks to the moderately high acidity and ripe medium-minus tannins. The finish is dry, firm and very gently grippy with quite long flavors of stony minerality, wild strawberries, some ripe cranberries, a little bit of blueberry, light bitter tones and a sweet hint of black cherries.
  
  A nice, clean and tasty Cru Bojo. The subtly stemmy greenness lends a slightly leafy Loire-like note to the wine, but otherwise this is pretty classic stuff. The overall feel is ripe and somewhat solar, yet the not-too-warm vintage manages to keep the wine well in balance; this is about freshness and acidity, not about high alcohol and sweet fruit. However, the wine might be closing down, as the nose feels somewhat reticent and the taste is slightly holding back - perhaps a few extra years in a cellar might help? Nevertheless, this is a good, balanced and thoroughly drinkable effort.
