August 9, 2015 - Lots of wines for a 25/50 Party (Lori & Mike's 25/50 Party): Wow, was this bottle drinking well. Even my wife who doesn't like Bojo thought this was good. Bought on release for about $15. Pnp. Ruby in color. The nose shows cherries, some cranberries and a bit of floral notes. On the palate, smooth and balanced. drinking really easily. Great cherry fruit with layers of complexity. great acidity. Wonderful texture. Glad to have a couple left, hope they all show this well.

October 23, 2012 - I've never really caught on to this wine. It has always, to me, seemed fairly subdued and dull. There's a bit of crushed, bitter cherry fruit on the palate but that is pretty much all I get out of this wine. There is none of those flavors from the soil one finds in Lapierre and Foillard for example. Uninteresting at best.

11/12/2007 (link)(Domaine de Vissoux Beaujolais Cuvee Traditionnelle Vieiiles Vignes) This stuff was cracklin' right out of the bottle. And when I mean crackin' yes I mean high acidity. Definetly does not have the vibrant full-powered fruit of the 2005. This is leaner and meaner which I love. Bright red and sappy with a wonderful gaminess that became more prominent with air. Despite all that cracklin' acidity a roundness did develop on the palate. The tannins were ripe and sweet and really expanded like a fan as the wine breathed. Such a great honest expression of Gamay and a lovely wine to sip on.
