    December 17, 2023 - Excellent

    Note from memory from a couple of nights ago.

    From magnum. Not unhappy to have a few more of these in the cellar. Though it expanded a bit with air, I loved it on PnP. Enough character and nose to keep you coming back for more drinking on its own, but also a nice wine for the meal (lentil dish with roasted tomato, some gorgonzola, herbs).

    Complex wine maybe showing some slight reduction. Complex nose and body left me struggling to elevate specific elements. There are floral components, cool spices, some crushed herbs, cherry and berries and even some pine forest. Whatever it is, there is real depth here but it floats and had a mineral inflected finish.

    Note: I read that this wine is atypical of Fleurie, which has soils that are usually granitic, in that the soil here is largely a manganese-rich clay much like Moulin-à-Vent. The original owner about 100 years ago protested against inclusion in Fleurie, thinking the property should have been in Moulin-à-Vent.

    November 23, 2023 - My rating today is a full 5 point below my last one. What changed the most? Bottle, food, or me? Not sure. Had this with Blackberry Farm Thanksgiving turkey, and it just didn't pair well. Too much bright cherry, whereas I prefer my Bojo earthier. The white Burgundy before shot the moon for its price. I have a few more bottles and will try to dial my average rating.

    November 17, 2023 - When writing a note for a wine, I am always try to place context in some way shape or form in my impression – air time, food pairing etc etc. In evaluating this wine, I could easily place this against the nervy 2016, the much better than expected 17, the back in time cool 21 vintage and imply this wine is a fruit bomb and should be avoided at all cost. Yet, I’m an optimist, and from evaluating this in vacuum, this was a very pretty, extremely tasty, fruit forward red. I think I’ll drink my last bottle sooner rather than later.

    November 10, 2023 - Another solid yet more simple showing for this wine. Fresh but a bit rough around the edges. Clearly a well made wine, possibly going into a bit of a dumb/closed phase right now though.
