  Nice, mature bojo. It has secondary flavors but retains some primary bojo fruit.

  In a nice place right now, scented with clean mud and violets, exhibits nice stone and minerality now that the cherry fruit flavors have taken a back seat, lovely notes of licorice on the finish, still fresh and alive, drinking at the pinnacle now, shows well with cheeses

  This has opened up and improved from 17-months ago. The fruit has emerged on the palate - candied strawberries, bananas, blackberries, cloves, and black tea. Otherwise, consistent with my previous note. Drink now.

  P&P'd with takeout chicken teriyaki and fixings. Dark, violet, cloudy, ruby color. Nose is outstanding, emanating a complex assortment of funky wet clay, muddy grass, dried herbs, dark cherries, and lingering notes of cloves and sweet candied strawberries. The palate is light, tight, tart, and compact, with very little fruit, mainly a bitter streak of astringency that still feels slightly out of balance. Subtle hints of blackberries, raspberries, dried leather, and sweet tobacco flow into the finish, which is also short and raw. I think this will get slightly better in a year or two, but you'll appreciate this wine most for the nose and overall rusticity. Definitely an ol' country Beaujolais.
