Decanted and enjoyed with a queso chicken, rice, broccoli casserole. Initially comes across as being very “grapey”, but after it’s settled, it displays perfume, earth and juicy “fruit forward” aromas and flavors. Balanced mouthfeel with the mostly deep red fruits in harmony with the acidity and mild tannin. Hefty with a medium plus texture. Satisfying finish. Had I not known the origin, I would have guessed Loire or possibly a Cote Chalonnaise Pinot. For a Village-Beaujolais, this drinks far superior to many of the “Crus” I've had over the years. Very good with a excellent QPR.

TN from memory. Bottle opened 5 hours before serving, not decanted. Needs a lot of air, but blossoms beautifully. Darker style of gamay. Shiny, very solid, concentrated, pure and balanced. Big.

Rich Garnet. Somewhat subdued nose of herbs and red berry. Bright and lively red fruit on the palette with astringent thyme on the finish. Amazing value and a Beaujolais that can hold its own with a village Burgundy. I thought the previous 2016 vintage was better.

On the fresh and fruity side of Bojo, clean red fruits but was a little light that it tasted dilute. Crowd pleaser.

Lovely aromatic red fruit on the nose, good acid balance. [Brief note from blind tasting of 2017 Beaujolais.]
