Easily seen through. Mainly garnet color Great old world nose with dried fruit, raspberry. violets and a touch of earthiness. Initial mouth feel is light and relatively thin. Then the fruit kicks in with blueberry leading followed by berries and oaky fine grained tannic bitterness which grows and then dominates. Very dry. Needs more time - years.... Will be beautiful when the tannins mellow and integrate. but for now it suffers a bit IMO. Will try decanting... A bit of aeration did miracles and brought the wine into better balance. May have to buy a couple of bottles to age.

Second bottle was much better. More balanced with nice red fruit and fine tannins. Also with some mild floral notes on the bouquet. First bottle had a strange perfume smell that was not harsh but also wasn't pleasant. My next bottle will be the decider :)

Started this wine hours before our son Dean was born and finished the following night with family when we returned from the hospital. One-dimensional wine but it is balanced and elegant. Still young. Nose and palate opened up on Day 2 with typical Gamay notes of lovely violets, black licorice, strawberries, bananas, and cloves. Drink 2017-2022.

This is a lovely nicely balanced wine. there is youthful fruit with an oak backbone. There is minimal tanin. the color is dark red. There is no bouquet

Overpaid for this, don't buy at this shop again, can be found anywhere. Should be a $20 wine, not $25. Nice cherry and wet soil nose and mainly cherry fruit on the palate. Nice balance, medium intensity, easy to drink and good with food. One of Kermit Lynch's obscurities, not exactly a Gang of Four style Cru Beaujolais, seems more basic. Served with a cellar chill, had to wait for it to evolve in the glass.

Nice again but made the mistake of drinking this with prosciutto which brought out a strong metallic note in the wine. Was much better after some bread to tame my palate down.

Beautiful young Bojo. Fairly ripe exuberant fruit, some earthy notes, fleshy texture, good balancing acidity. This needs some time to shed its baby fat, but should be exceptional with a years or longer on it.

Light colour. Agreeable nose, a bit rustic, more red than dark fruit. In the mouth, it's slightly rustic, too, with fairly strong acidity and noticeable tannins. Quite simple.

Blueberry, slightly meaty. Chalky, short and tart finish. Perhaps an off bottle?

Nicely balanced with good red and blue fruit, acidity, and tannins. Drank off the pop and pour with a Carribean pork sandwich.

Not a fan of this vintage. It was hard and charmless. The fruit was tart. No pleasure from the wine.

Really nice elegant red with attractive strong tea characteristics and earthy notes. Should be interesting to see how this develops over the years.

Really tannic, there's some pretty fruit in there but the balance feels awkward right now.

Nice expression of gamay. A bit young and tight but good underlying complexity
