  PnP, no decanting; perhaps that was a mistake. Color is deep ruby / garnet, nose is cherry with a hit of spices. On the palate, it's dry, medium+ body, soft tannins and decent acidity; there is some oak there, but not sure it's new. A simple wine, very drinkable, but nothing special.

  Good Earth and musk notes on the nose. Tannins and acid a bit high on the front palate, masks any fruit notes. Tart cherry mid palate, short finish. Hoping that it lengthens with time.

  Very simple. Too extracted. Did not say Bojo to me. Could have been anything.

  The aroma of dark berries, strawberry and blackcurrant was immediate on pouring into the glass.a deep mysterious crimson colour promised a rich and full flavour but also a hint of peony to the meniscus suggesting this wine is still developing and may have a few more years in it before its best.
  The wine clings to the glass and shows long slow legs. Again on the nose is dark fruit and morello cherry and a hint of strawberry amongst pencil shavings.
  The initial attack is blueberry, sour cherries and graphite. The slight astringency of the still young tanins is well balanced with acidity and offers a nice finish albeit one which doesn't seem to linger too long.
  So would I buy it again? Yes it was a nice wine and offered up something which was both classic from the region and of the varietal gamay. I think aging it a little longer will benefit the wine and soften and enhance the potential complexities that I feel exist and are a little bit locked away!
