  Very good after two plus hour decant. Sweet but restrained fruit, good acidity and depth. Paired well with coq au vin.

  I’m cautiously optimistic that this might be my first good bottle from Foillard. While this will definitely require some air, the off flavors that haunted last nights bottle of Fleurie are not there in this wine. Rustic but crunchy fruit.
  
  After a few hours of air, this is actually quite nice. Bright red fruits and enough structure to last a while. Reminds me a lot of Coudert’s cuvée Tardive, except this is twice as expensive and 80%+ more likely to have an undrinkable fault.
  
  EDIT: I will admit when I am wrong. This wine was stunning on day 2, perhaps the best BoJo I’ve had in 20 years. Beautiful fruits and exotic spices. Its best days are still ahead, but I’m not buying future vintages. It is hard to buy a wine when you know that there is a good chance that some, and possibly all of them will be tainted. But when this is good, it is very, very good.

  Explodes out of the glass with scents of fresh strawberry, orange peel, and violets, the fruit is concentrated and the body is lifted, bright and clean acid, this vintage is a version that sports a magical mouthfeel, pops with flavors of strawberry, wild blueberry, stone and sweet mint, this is a talkative wine! And cellar worthy.

  Spicy fruit, with notes of dill and a touch of earth on the nose. The palate is exploding with bright berry fruit, with just a hint of oak and firm acidity on the finish. Very easy to drink. Has lots of life left, but it's so delicious now, I'm not sure my remaining bottle will last too much longer.

  PnP in a Grassl Cru. Really nice. Very drinkable: perfectly ripe strawberries. Good acids. Open from the beginning. Happy to have opened one of these shortly after delivery. I’m sure it will drink well for many years, but an excellent experience right now.
