  Fruit, berries, nice acid and some spice. Needs a little time in glass to come together. Very nice.

  Absolutely one of my top Cru Bojo's. Loads of fruit and acid. Perfectly balanced with plenty of nuance. Red fruit, dark fruits, dark berries, spices. Just a great bottle of wine

  Was the red paired with our Thanksgiving dinner and it did not disappoint. Didn't decant but we did open and let air an hour before dinner. No detailed notes but it had a lovely, floral nose and was rather sweet and heavy on the palate, but still juicy and fresh into the finish. Complimented a variety of foods over dinner. Drink 2024 - 2030. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 92.

  I see that I brought it to El Gaucho in Aruba last May, and brought it again. The extra year seemed to tame it. Still full throttle, but it seems better balanced. Delicious with the Argentinian steak.

  Oddly green and stemmy straight out the gates, but calms down after about an hour and smooths out. Still a bit of prickly bramble, strikes mostly as bright red maraschino cherries with a smattering of blackberries (seeds and all).
  
  Quite tasty, perhaps a bit larger/darker than my expectation of Fleurie (and Foillard) but tasty nonetheless -- likely a signature of the hot vintage.
